'Here is storytelling at its best, the story utterly mesmerising and deeply touching' Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse

'Beautifully drawn setting with a touching friendship at its core' Elle McNicoll, author of A Kind of Spark
Lumi is far from thrilled when her parents send her to stay in Lapland with her aunt and uncle - especially because being autistic makes it hard for her to adjust to a new place. But everything changes when she befriends a lone white wolf.
So when hunters threaten his life, Lumi makes a brave decision: she will save him by leading him to a national park. Scouting a trail through the frozen wilderness, making camp in cosy hiking cabins, and even trying saunas and ice-swimming, Lumi begins to open up to Lapland and even accepts the help of local boy Oskár. But with danger at their heels, can they find safety in time - and a place to belong? An unforgettable story about discovering your strengths and finding your place in the world, written by a Finnish neurodivergent storyteller. Featuring illustrated pages from Lumi's forest diary.
