Amelia is hiding from Freddie, Tom's rather large dog, as she has a fear of dogs, when she discovers a diary. The diary tells the story of Noah, a young boy in America, who is trying to keep a baby wolf safe from hunters.
Amelia falls asleep and when she awakes she has been transported into Noah's world to help him with saving the wolf.
A beautiful and gentle time shift story that brings to life, for the young reader, life in America during the frontier years.
The story is told in two parts that are interleaved. The narrator tells the story of Amelia while each chapter has an excerpt from Noah's diary that is in a handwritten font and told purely from his perspective.
Black and white illustrations abound throughout the book and the whole thing is an excellent and very easy read.
For readers in the 6-8 age group this book will delight.
