Robyn, unable to hunt with her father and sick of being confined, sneaks out to explore the forbidden lands outside the city walls. There, Robyn befriends a free-spirited girl, Mebh, a member of a mysterious tribe of WOLFWALKERS rumored to have the ability to transform into wolves by night. After learning that WOLFWALKERS aren't to be feared, Robyn decides she must protect Mebh and her pack from the hunters.

Sattin's adaptation is a visual delight, with largely wordless action sequences filled with fast, edge-of-your-seat pacing culminating in a message stressing the importance of tolerance and empathy. Robyn and Mebh's friendship comes alive through the panels, making this a strong female-driven alternate history set in a time where girls had few choices.... A sweet and compelling friendship story. --Kirkus
