She Wolf by Dan Smith - Teachers' Notes

Northumbria, 866. Washed ashore on a frozen English beach, Ylva’s survived. She will not cry. She’s meant to be strong. She’s a Viking.

But when her mother dies at the hand of a three-fingered man, and the wolves of the forest circle closer, Ylva will need more than the memory of her mother’s stories to stay alive. Can she shape her own legend? Will it end in revenge – or is there another way?

If you have an Authorfy subscription, you can also check out Dan’s She Wolf masterclass – Dan has recorded a bunch of videos for use in an educational setting, featuring his favourite writing tips, some awesome Viking facts and behind-the-scenes She Wolf extras.
