A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month July 2024
Coll lives on Wolf, a powerful ‘Construct’, a mechanical fighting creature which is controlled by its crew as well as by its technology.
As one of the Wolf crew, Coll knows he belongs on Wolf. He abides by all the rules of being part of the pack and is fearless and strong when needed to ensure Wolf’s survival during attacks by the other Constructs such as Dragon and Raven.
But Coll is also different and there are some of Wolf’s crew who challenge his right to belong. When Coll is thrown off Wolf during an attack he is sure that he won’t be able to survive. His only thought is to get back to Wolf as soon as possible so that he can know that he belongs again. But instead, Coll begins a journey of self-discovery. He finds he can live without Wolf. He is Coll. And that is enough.
A hugely imaginative and enjoyable read.

About
I Am Wolf Synopsis
An outstanding, highly original and unputdownable read! This is a bold, thought-provoking adventure perfect for fans of Mortal Engines and The Last Wild.
Coll is Wolf. He lives with his clan on a Construct, a huge technological "creature" driven by the clan's combined willpower. Together they roam their world, fighting other clans and absorbing them into their own. But when a new and dangerous Construct attacks them, Coll is thrown clear from Wolf and left behind. Now he must survive life on ground and get back to his clan. He is helped by Rieka, a "Tock" who makes the Constructs work. She promises Coll a way to return, but can she be trusted? And what is she really trying to do...?
When Coll uncovers the truth, it destroys everything he thought he knew about his clan, the world they live in, and even himself. In a world full of danger, and suddenly without meaning, can he find a way back?
