A human girl and a weregirl forge an unlikely bond. In this graphic novel based on the movie of the same name, English Robyn Goodfellowe is a recent transplant to Ireland with her father, who was sent by Oliver Cromwell to hunt wolves threatening workers who are clearing the ancient forests. Robyn wants to be a hunter like her dad, but he refuses to listen to her wishes, commanding her instead to work as a maid. One day, on a clandestine forest trip, Robyn meets Mebh, a wild, red-haired Irish girl with a strong connection to nature. Robyn learns that Mebh is a Wolfwalker: human by day, wolf at night. Mebh's mother is missing, and Cromwell's cronies are quickly destroying more of the forest, pushing the wolves out of their ancestral home. Can the girls find common ground and help each other? Sattin's adaptation is a visual delight, with largely wordless action sequences filled with fast, edge-of-your-seat pacing culminating in a message stressing the importance of tolerance and empathy. Robyn and Mebh's friendship comes alive through the panels, making this a strong female-driven alternate history set in a time when girls had few choices. Young readers unfamiliar with Irish history might have benefited from a supplemental note. All characters are White. A sweet and compelling friendship story.
