A lonely autistic girl befriends a white wolf — but to save his life, she must first learn to trust her own strength. A moving, epic adventure through the frozen wilderness and warm, welcoming places of Lapland, by a fresh and truly inspiring author. Beautifully illustrated by award-winning Jason Cockroft. Perfect for readers aged 8+ and fans of Hannah Gold, Elle McNicoll and Michael Morpurgo.
Lumi is not at all thrilled when her parents send her to stay in Lapland with her aunt and uncle — especially since being autistic makes it difficult for her to adjust to a new place. But everything changes when she befriends a lonely white wolf. So when hunters threaten his life, Lumi makes a brave decision: she will save him by leading him to a national park.
Exploring trails through the frozen wilderness, camping in cosy cabins, and trying saunas and ice swimming, Lumi begins to open up to Lapland and even accepts help from local boy Oskár. But with danger on their heels, will they be able to find safe haven in time — and a place to belong?
An unforgettable story about discovering your strength and finding your place in the world, written by a Finnish neurodivergent author.
