Ilustration In Favor Of Books The Dark Horse

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.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred

“Will . . . find a solid readership among historical fiction fans, thanks to the fast pace, hint of magic, and satisfyingly enigmatic
conclusion.”—Booklist

“Employing a lean narrative voice and writing in short chapters that encourage page turning, Sedgwick draws readers along . . . rich, involving, and vivifying.”—School Librabry Journal, Starred

Comment On Epithetical Books The Dark Horse

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The ending was quite unexpected, although a bit disappointing.Marcus Sedgwick surely knows how to weave a captivating story. Lovely.

Before there was written language, Sigurd's tribe, the Storn, lived a traditional life by the sea.

By chance some time later, they found a young girl living in a cave with wolves. Sigurd's family took her in and named her

Another book by Marcus Sedgwick which I enjoyed, but not as much as I did with white crow and the book of dead days. Not as spooky and captivating as I wanted it to be.

A very short book which is easy to read and quite addictive. It is in two parts and the actual appearance of The Dark Horse only truly occurs in Part Two. I would have been interested in reading an Author's Note to learn of what inspired the book but there wasn't one. This was a sad, touching and violent tale with a great twist. As ever, Marcus Sedwick has given us a great read!

I didnt expect that twist.

This is the first book that I have read by Marcus Sedgwick and I was impressed with the world he created. The story focuses on Sigurd who finds a small girl living in the caves with wolves not too far from his village, Storn. Due to her continuous silence, he decides to name her Mouse and treats her like a sister after she is adopted by his family. The bond of affection grows between them throughout the passing years and while Mouse is glad to have a brother, Sigurd grows to love her.When Sigurd
