Poster for wolf boy showing a young boy with a wolf hat, howling

About

Wilf is 8 years old and was born to be a wolf. He's always a wolf — but today, he's also a pirate. Yesterday he was an explorer, and the day before that, an astronaut. Of course, the surface of the moon was actually the smooth, earthy floor beneath his favourite tree in the communal gardens he shares.

Today, that tree is his pirate ship — unless grumpy neighbour Mr Doukas has his way. After a heated argument, Wilf's mum forbids him from playing there. Heartbroken, Wilf renames himself Wolf Boy and runs away to the woods in search of his true pack.

Along the way, Wolf Boy meets strange and wonderful woodland creatures — but finding where you belong isn't easy.

Will Wolf Boy discover his true pack? Will he be welcomed in? And will he ever return home?
