Bookroo's summary

Lucy hears noises in the walls and suspects wolves are lurking. Her family dismisses her fears, but when the wolves finally emerge, it's not the end—it's the beginning of Lucy's daring battle. Can she reclaim her home from the unexpected invaders? Discover a tale of courage and unexpected twists as Lucy faces the wolves head-on.

From the publisher

There are sneaking,

creeping, crumpling

noises coming from

inside the walls.

Lucy is sure there are wolves living in the walls of their house – and, as everybody says, if the wolves come out of the walls, it’s all over. Her family doesn’t believe her. Then one day, the wolves come out.

But it’s not all over. Instead, Lucy’s battle with the wolves is only just beginning.
