Raised By Wolves cover reveal

Here is the cover for my new middle-grade novel, Raised By Wolves (out 1 May 2026)! A sequel to CBCA Honour Book, Two Wolves 🐺 🐺 , I’ve spent the past two years writing it. Out in May with my long-time publisher @penguinkidsaustralia. Once again, the cover is designed by @christabella_designs. I’ll be touring five states and a territory (NSW, QLD, VIC, SA, WA & ACT) in 2026 to bring the book to life for readers! See my Events page for booking details and public events.

You can click here to pre-order the book and be one of its first readers. And I’d love you to share with any Two Wolves fans you know or anyone who might be interested in a new thriller for middle-grade readers and up, about 10-14 years old. 🙂 NB: You don’t need to have read Two Wolves to enjoy Raised By Wolves. It’s set five year’s later from a different character’s POV.

Here’s the book blurb…

When your dad’s a fugitive, who do you trust – him, or yourself?

Twelve-year-old Olive Silver knows how to check every room with a knife when she gets home from school, how to survive alone and how to keep secrets. She’s had to – ever since her criminal dad abandoned her family five years ago and let them pay for his crime.

But now, he’s back.

The day she spots him outside her school, everything tilts. Olive calls her big brother Ben, who’s two days from graduating the police academy, and follows Dad through rain and darkness, across railway tracks and through wrecking yards, desperate for answers. Does Dad love her? Or is he only back for the money?

As the night spins out of control, Olive faces a choice: let Dad go, or hunt him down and bring him to justice.

Raised by Wolves is a tense, heart-stopping thriller about loyalty, betrayal and finding out who you really are when the people you trust most let you down.
