The Wolf King, Number 3

Judd Palmer

In this haunting adaptation of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf', Palmer returns to the Boy's village after the night when the boy's final warning went unheeded - to the village's ruin. That night, the Boy disappeared, leaving an unborn son and an infamous name. Alfred, son of the Boy Who Cried Wolf, grows up under the shadow of his father; teased and taunted, left alone to stare at the moon and write poetry to Martina, the prettiest girl in the school. His one ambition is to wear the uniform of the village Guard, who defend the town against the wolves. But a strange escapade in the woods brings new turmoil into Alfred's life: he meets the fierce man who calls himself the Wolf King, who is gathering the wolves in preparation for the final onslaught against the villagers. 8 yrs+
