The Dark Horse
of Marcus Sedgwick (Goodreads Author)
Description
SIG IS A boy in a coastal tribe, the Storn, long ago in a Northern land. On the day of the wolf hunt, the life of the tribe changes forever, for Sig rescues a small girl, more like the wolves who shelter her than a human. Sigâs family adopts her and names her Mouse, and he becomes a loyal brother to this girl with mysterious powers and a secret past. The shocking discovery of Mouseâs true identity brings to life a terrifying legend and leads to war, betrayal, and Sigâs coming of age as he finds the wit and courage to save his tribe.âLike an ancient cave painting come to life, Sedgwickâs tale of dark enchantment depicts a primitive tribe in a north country.ââPublishers Weekly, StarredâWill . . . find a solid readership among historical fiction fans, thanks to the fast pace, hint of magic, and satisfyingly enigmatic conclusion.ââBooklistâEmploying a lean narrative voice and writing in short chapters that encourage page turning, Sedgwick draws readers along . . . rich, involving, and vivifying.ââSchool Librabry Journal, Starred
