Hace miles de años, un niño llamado Torak vive feliz en el bosque, hasta el día en que un oso gigante ataca y hiere a su padre. Moribundo, éste le ordena que se dirija al Norte para encontrar la Montaña del Espíritu del Mundo, antes de que aparezca en el cielo la Luna del Sauce Rojo. Pero Torak sólo tiene doce años, desconoce qué camino tomar y no puede acudir a nadie en busca de ayuda. Sin embargo, perseguido po rel enorme oso, el niñi emprende el viaje acompañado de un lobezno que ha encontrado a la orilla del río. Pronto se unirán a ellos Renn, una niña perteneciente al Clan de los Cuervos, y juntos vivirán excitantes y peligrosas aventuras que pondrán a prueba su valor, su habilidad como cazadores, su inteligencia y su naciente amistad.

Twelve year old Torak is alone.
His father, the only other human he's ever known, has been viciously killed by a demon bear. In his final moments he makes the boy swear to find the Mountain of the World Spirit, or die trying.
Torak not only has to fulfill his destiny, but like Mowgli must learn to live with people again. A wonderful story about courage, destiny, friendship, and magic.

This is a wonderful story. Because of some scary moments I'd say this book is great for kids in upper elementary on. I really enjoyed it and will probably check out the next one in the series! ( )

MG adventure but I choose it for the narrator Ian McKellen. So far he does not disappoint.
------------------

A good intro to the genre for youngins.

I won't be continuing with the series. ( )

Torak is a young boy, brought up by his father, learning how to survive and hunt in the forest. His father is killed by a huge bear, but Torak escapes, promising his father he would go to the Mountain of the World Spirit.

His journey begins with him finding Wolf, an orphaned wolf cub, who is the guide his father referred to. They are captured by the Raven clan, but escape thanks to Renn. Their mission is to kill the bear that killed Torak’s father and that threatens them all.

A lovely book full of adventure and danger. Torak may only be a boy but he has the fate of the world as he knows it on his shoulders. He must use the wit his father has taught him and find the truth of his past.

A marvellous book for younger readers as well as older ones. A tale well told, from the perspective of a child which simplifies things and is refreshing. ( )
