Two knocks on the door...then two more. It was early morning when Nan invited him in. Then Nan hurriedly sends Cassy to her disfunctional mother,Goldie. it seems to Cassy that Nan is not talking about a short stay. Nan gives her bag with some food, some money, a note for her mum, and some strange yellow stuff right at the bottom. But Goldie has moved in with a strange intense person, and his son Robert. They are developing a project about wolves. The topic leaves Cassy shaken. and the faded memories of her father, about whom no-one will talk, keep rising to the surface with all their attendant questions.
This is a well written book that has a high level of tension and anticipation. Originally written in1990, by a British author, it is show more still very readable for todays teens show less
A great read for all ages. The reader is kept on the edge towards the end. There are many themes of fairytales throughout.
