A primary reading series developed with UCL Institute of Education to help children become confident, independent readers.
A lonely autistic girl befriends a white wolf – but to save his life, she must first learn to trust her own strengths. A heart-warming, epic adventure across the snowy wilderness and cosy settings of Lapland by a new and inspiring storyteller. Beautifully illustrated with Lumi’s forest diary pages and award-winning Jason Cockroft’s stunning art. A page-turner children will treasure!
‘A gorgeous wintry adventure’ Abi Elphinstone
‘Beautifully drawn setting with a touching friendship at its core’ Elle McNicoll
‘So pacey and full of heart’ Jacob North
‘A heartwarming, beautifully written adventure that fans of Hannah Gold and Lui Sit will love’ Philippa Leathley
Lumi is far from thrilled when her parents send her to stay in Lapland with her aunt and uncle – especially because being autistic makes it hard for her to adjust to a new place. But everything changes when she befriends a lone white wolf. So when hunters threaten his life, Lumi makes a brave decision: she will save him by leading him to a national park.
Scouting a trail through the frozen wilderness, making camp in cosy hiking cabins, and even trying saunas and ice-swimming, Lumi begins to open up to Lapland and even accepts the help of local boy Oskár. But with danger at their heels, can they find safety in time – and a place to belong?
An unforgettable story about discovering your strengths and finding your place in the world, written by a Finnish neurodivergent author. For 8-13+ readers of Hannah Gold, Elle McNicoll and Michael Morpurgo.
‘Destined to be a classic of children’s literature. Complete wonder, utter magic’ Lizzie Huxley-Jones
‘I just absolutely adored it’ Anna Zoe Quirke
‘Spellbinding, sensitively written and sweeps you away from the very first page’ Mel Taylor-Bessent
‘Hannah Gold meets Elle McNicoll with a sprinkle of Moomin midwinter magic’ Claire Hatcher-Smith
