SIG IS A boy in a coastal tribe, the Storn, long ago in a Northern land. On the day of the wolf hunt, the life of the tribe changes forever, for Sig rescues a small girl, more like the wolves who shelter her than a human. Sig?s family adopts her and names her Mouse, and he becomes a loyal brother to this girl with mysterious powers and a secret past. The shocking discovery of Mouse?s true identity brings to life a terrifying legend and leads to war, betrayal, and Sig?s coming of age as he finds the wit and courage to save his tribe. "Like an ancient cave painting come to life, Sedgwick?s tale of dark enchantment depicts a primitive tribe in a north country."? -- Booklist "Employing a lean narrative voice and writing in short chapters that encourage page turning, Sedgwick draws readers along ... rich, involving, and vivifying."? -- From the Hardcover edition.
