Talk, reading, Q&A
Since he often lacks words, Silas is bullied at school. By rescuing an injured wolf, he catapults himself into a world of talking animals, where wolves in an underground city are oppressed by sneaky foxes. Silas can help the wolves, but to do so he must finally find his voice. In poignant language, this children’s book debut, at the same time grippingly dreamy and profound, tells about exclusion, the power of language, and overcoming boundaries.
