The Hunt for the Mad Wolf's Daughter (Mad Wolf's Daughter Duology #2)

In this sequel to The Mad Wolf's Daughter, girl warrior Drest tries to help her new friend Emerick regain the castle stolen from him. She embarks on a quest for allies but finds she's been named a "wolf's head" with a bounty on her life. The medieval-Scottish setting is well drawn, and Drest's efforts to be true to herself are convincing.

Magras deftly balances introspection and action as Drest proves herself willing to risk everything--and the result will leave readers cheering. . . . A standout among quest tales for middle graders.

Magras maintains the breathtaking pace of the previous book . . . In addition to all the action, the book is laced with humor while maintaining an undercurrent of thoughtfulness. No sophomore slump here: the book is every bit as good as its predecessor.

The Hunt for the Mad Wolf's Daughter is a gripping, white-knuckle adventure. Readers will love cheering for this unforgettable heroine. —Dan Gemeinhart, author of The Honest Truth and The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise

"The Hunt for the Mad Wolf's Daughter by Diane Magras is that rare sequel that both builds on and outdoes its predecessor. Exciting and fulfilling, the book expands on the themes of moral tension wrought between individual conscience and family ties, along with a well developed array of friendships and heart-pounding action scenes."—Publishers Weekly ShelfTalker, written by Kenny Brechner, DDG Books
