Katrina Nannestad: We Are Wolves

AAR-Katrina-Nannestad-We-Are-WolvesAward-winning Australian writer Katrina Nannestad returns with her most masterful novel yet, We Are Wolves – a book to crack open your heart, a book to light you up inside, a book to love.

When the Russian Army marches into East Prussia at the end of the war, the Wolf family must flee.

Liesl, Otto and their baby sister Mia find themselves lost and alone, in a blizzard, in the middle of a war zone. Liesl has promised Mama that she will keep her brother and sister safe.

But sometimes, to survive, you have to do bad things. Dangerous things. Wild things. Sometimes to survive, you must become a wolf.

Katrina Nannestad is an award-winning Australian author. Her books include The Girl Who Brought Mischief, The Girl, the Dog and the Writer series, the Olive of Groves series, the Red Dirt Diaries series, the Lottie Perkins series and Bungaloo Creek.

Katrina grew up in country New South Wales in a neighbourhood stuffed full of happy children. Her adult years have been spent teaching, raising boys, perfecting her recipe for chocolate-chip bickies and pursuing her love of stories. She now lives near Bendigo with her family, an exuberant black whippet called Olive and a cuddly magpie called Otto.


We Are Wolves is published by HarperCollins Australia (ABC Books) and is available from all leading book sellers including Booktopia.
