Review: Wolf Girl #11: Hide and Seek

Wolf Girl -11: Hide and Seek, finds Gwen and her pack of dogs – her family, leave Moon City, chased by the Braxans, who are determined to catch her. 

The group find refuge in an underground tunnel before they come upon a shopping centre reclaimed by nature.

At the Mall, a new adventure begins. The dogs sniff out a Pet Shop. Dog’s delight!

But this is not the sanctuary they imagine. 

Others are using the space for housing and security. The group again encounter threats, danger and choices.

But who are the family living there, also hiding from their pursuers.

Nothing comes easy for either group. 

When the soldiers catch up with them, its them against the dogs.

Can Wolf Girl and her pack work their way through this scrambled puzzle?

This is a fabulous and well drawn-out series with every installment full of action and adventure, optimism and courage. The relationship between animals and humans and the way they care for and protect each other, is always a central focus in some form or another.

Perfect for reluctant readers, this book is full of black and white illustrations by the talented Lachlan Creagh, who brings life to all the characters and their activities.

Anh Do currently has several series on the go with a new graphic novel coming out soon, titled Kung Fu Roo: Enter the Roo. Look out for this and the forthcoming Wolf Girl #12.
