‘Wolven’ by Di Toft

About the book:

Wolven is a fantasy firmly rooted in the mysterious present. A boy and his eccentric grandparents live near a strange wood – apparently cursed. He longs for a dog – but the dirty ungainly farm creature finally found by his grandfather hardly fits his image of the perfect pet. And it howls in the night. But it’s only when his dog starts to grow human ears that he realises that something is seriously wrong. The truth is stranger than his wildest dreams…
