Mara and the Bad Wolf - a gender-magical fairy tale
On Mara the fox's eleventh birthday, a rebellious teenage wolf takes Mara to a mysterious island where getting lost is as easy as falling into a patch of wild mushrooms. Mara soon finds herself alone and confused, with no idea how to get back home.
Will any of the cheeky local animals help Mara find her way? Will she make it through the impossible Cave of Many Doors? And could the island be trying to tell Mara something important... about herself? Sometimes, following your own path is trickier than it seems.
Join Mara on a magical journey of self-discovery in this beautifully illustrated modern fairy tale for all curious souls aged seven and up.
