Living six thousand years ago, after the Ice Age but before the spread of agriculture, Torak and his people understand the natural world. They revere the animals they hunt and never waste an ounce of prey. A deer provides them not only with food, but also with clothes, water carriers, shoes, rope, even needles. Torak and his people also understand spirituality. They see the sacred in the seasons and the cycle of the moon. Torak sees these things even more, for he is a Spirit Walker. He can communicate with animals. He can even, in extremis, live inside them. He can send his three souls to inhabit wild creatures and exist with them, side by side. Torak has a pack-brother, Wolf, his comrade and his guide. Torak and Wolf are bound by ties so fundamental that nothing can keep them apart.

Sounds exactly the sort of thing my son would go for. Might even have to sneak it off him for a read myself. Escapism is SO my thing!

|comment= I recently read the first two in this series, having had them recommended - I am eagerly looking forward to reading the third, as I enjoyed the series immensely.
You are right, Jill, in that the series is more of a 'traditional' children's series than say Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books or Pullman's His Dark Materials. They are, nevertheless, an enjoyable read for adults.
Can you lend me this book then? ;)

|comment= It's a lovely series, you're so right! I just finished writing my review for a Dutch magazine and gave it five out of five stars (not something I do everyday, I can tell you). Then I went out on the internet to see if others were just as enthusiastic or whether there was perhaps a flaw somewhere that I had missed, or something of the kind. Glad you like it as much as I do. :)
