The Wolving Time

The Wolving Time introduces Laszlo Emberek, a 13-year-old boy living in 16th-century France, torn between his human life as a shepherd and his family's hidden identity as shapeshifting wolves. As Laszlo anticipates his own transformation, their secret is uncovered by a village girl, a ward of a corrupt priest. This discovery plunges Laszlo into a moral dilemma, forcing him to question what it means to be human, to be a wolf, and to navigate a world filled with prejudice and fear. The book explores themes of identity, belonging, good versus evil, and the dangers of intolerance, making it a compelling read for children aged 9-13. Parents should be aware of the suspenseful and sometimes intense nature of the story, which deals with persecution and the struggle to accept one's true self.
