Storm Hound by Claire Fayers
4.0
An adventure book riding between liminal spaces - of storms and mountains, new homes and old and magic and myth, Storm Hound follows the story of Storm, a young hound of Odin's wild hunt that is dragged from the skies and forced into the mortal realm.
Confused, out of sync with the real world, he finds himself in the hands of Jess a young girl who has just started Secondary school after her parents divorced. She and her brother have moved from London to the sleepy back end of Wales & the small puppy (Storm) with unlimited magic power is adopted into the family.
What Jess doesn't know is that lots of strange, mystical people would love to get their hands on Jess' new puppy to either kill it or siphon is magicks for their own gain. Can Jess find it within herself to embrace the new changes in her life and take a step towards a brighter future?
A story of friendship and being loyal to your beliefs, Storm Hound is a fun, exciting read that touches on divorce and the complex discomforts that come with children being separated from a parent. Storm makes for a great little character as do the antagonists throughout. It would make for a super class read for Year 3+
