About Faelan the Wolf Into the Lockjaws

An animal fantasy series in the tradition of Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nimh and Watership Down, from a 2023 NZ Children’s Book Awards Winner.

In this follow-on to Faelan the Wolf: Odd Wolf Out, Faelan’s pack is under threat from the white wolf, Varg Ákafar. The Pack Leader is dying, and his successor, weaselly Weylin, is not a fan of odd-ball Faelan and his unwolflike ways. (He befriends other creatures instead of eating them!)

Bardolph’s daughter Tala and Faelan must go and meet Varg (who is in possession of the Sacred Moonstone) in the treacherous Lockjaw Mountains to negotiate the return of the stone by offering Varg some of their territory … or is Tala going to offer something else? Perhaps even Varg’s long-lost son … Faelan?

Popular picture-book author Juliette MacIver has written a brilliant junior fiction novel trilogy, utilising her lyrical way with words in a gripping adventure story that will keep readers enthralled. In this first story, we meet the lovable Faelan, who
has always believed himself to be an orphan, then finds his father is still alive … and it may be the terrible, fearsome white wolf, Varg!

Juliette MacIver is an award-winning children’s picture book author of many Scholastic titles such as the hilarious and surprising Duck Goes Meow, winner of ‘Best Picture Book’ in the 2023 New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults; the wonderful Marmaduke Duck series; Henry Bob Bobbalich; Grasshoppers Dance; Tom and the Dragon; We’re Off to Find a Kiwi; Bye Bye Bye, A Mother’s Day Dilemma and The Moose and the Goose. Juliette has a BA in Linguistics and a Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from the Trinity College of London, and is part-way through a Master’s degree, also in Linguistics. She lives near Wellington with her husband and four children.
