About This Book

The sharp snap of twigs underfoot breaks the quiet of the forest as Peter tiptoes past tall trees and rustling leaves. The fresh, earthy smell of pine fills the air while shadows dance with the fading light. Courage swells inside Peter’s chest—he’s ready to face the wolf, but what will happen next?
