Collins Big Cat - Band 18/Pearl

Verity has lost her mother, and is gradually losing the woodland they both loved, too. So when she meets a lone wolf in the forest and the two become unlikely friends, she''s determined to save her, no matter the cost... Pearl/Band 18 books offer fluent readers a complex, substantial text with challenging themes to facilitate sustained comprehension, bridging the gap between a reading programme and longer chapter books. A reader response page provides lots of opportunities for speaking and listening and scaffolding writing. Text type: A contemporary story Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities. Bali Rai has been fascinated by the natural world since his childhood. He has always had a particular interest in wolves, after learning all about them at primary school many years ago. Wolf Girl was inspired by that experience, and by a growing frustration and sadness at the continued destruction of beautiful natural habitats across the planet. This book protests humankind''s seemingly relentless selfishness, and our disregard for the existence of other species on Earth.
