The Forest is endless and filled with savage wolves. The human settlement stays safe inside its walls — but two children, Sally and Faolan, long to know what lies beyond. One day a stranger arrives. His name is Reynard: trickster, storyteller, secret-keeper. He can show the children the way through the Forest, but the journey will be more dangerous than they imagine. There are worse things in the world than wolves, and the fox has one final trick to play.
Praise for The Forest Yet to Come
"Thought-provoking." – Kirkus Reviews
'The Forest Yet to Come is magical in every sense of the word. This modern fable fizzes with excitement and invention. An unputdownable story that works on many levels. Like the very best of children’s fantasy, Sam Thompson weaves important lessons into a thoroughly engaging tale that has much to tell us about the power of story itself.' – Celia Rees
'The Wolfstongue Saga is in a league of its own – a giant oak towering over a claustrophobic forest – and The Forest Yet to Come weaves together the roots set down in its sister books both beautifully and masterfully. Cunningly clever, otherworldly and utterly breathtaking, it’s an incomparable force of nature – I love it.' – Eve McDonnell, author of The Last Boy
'Wonderful storytelling and wow-factor illustrations mean I can absolutely recommend this book! Now, to read the others in the series!"' – Derek Keilty, author of the Ivy Newt series
Praise for The Wolfstongue Saga
'Thompson's writing vividly conveys the force with which nature and wildness strike an introverted city boy.' – The New York Times Book Review
'Sober, stirring fantasy.' – The Wall Street Journal
— Eve McDonnell, author of The Last Boy
