Two Wolves

This ended up being a good, little survival story. I liked thirteen-year-old Ben, the main protagonist. He is insecure, a bit of a loner and a thinker, and when he grows up he wants to be a detective. After misgivings about his parents behaviour, he gathers evidence and slowly pieces together what they have done. This leads to unexpected consequences as Ben battles with moral and ethical decisions - choosing what is right or protecting one's family? Throughout the book Ben grows in strength physically, mentally and emotionally until, at the end, he comes face-to-face with his nemesis. Although less than 200 hundred pages, there is lots to discuss after reading this book: right and wrong, family responsibilities, resilience, moral values show more and choices. A worthwhile read. show less

I read this in one sitting. Very exciting and suspenseful and a really lovely coming-of-age story. The characters are interesting and well-rounded and they all grow as the story unfurls. Brilliant job, Tristan!
