The legend of the werewolf reimagined in this thrilling, spine-tingling adventure by superstar author/illustrator Rob Biddulph. Perfect for children of 8-12, this hardback is packed with more than 100 spectacular black-and-white illustrations by the author.
Jax, Jovi, Esau and Fourth live for full-moon adventures – sneaking out after curfew, dodging the Nighthawks and roaming the empty streets of Moonhaven.
But when a rare werewolf attack rocks the town, the friends become prime suspects. With the Nighthawks closing in on anyone who was out after dark, they’re forced to run – setting off a chain of rumours, secrets and betrayals. As suspicion spreads, friendships are tested and the truth may be more dangerous than any of them imagined . . .

Cracks along at a furious pace. Gripping, exciting and truly a FEAST for the senses
A spine-tingling adventure with tons of bite
The Last Wolf is so brilliantly crafted. It is storytelling at its absolute best. And then as if the action and suspense weren’t enough, Rob Biddulph treats the reader to his gorgeously gothic illustrations throughout. I just couldn’t stop looking at them. Bravo!
Cracking fun! . . . tremendously entertaining from the get-go. Gripping, hilarious and really moving at times too.
A brilliantly gulpable adventure. A fast-moving, pacy plot? Tick. Spooky illustrations throughout? Tick. Short chapters and surprising plot twists? Tick and tick. The Last Wolf is a brilliant and exciting book.
This is SO GOOD! My favourite read of the year. Faint coffee mug mark because it's been sitting on my desk for days after I finished because I like to pick it up at every opportunity and look at the EPIC artwork...
