Wolves Chronicles

Set in the countryside of Victorian England, this novel tells of cousins Bonnie and Sylvia, their helpful friend, Simon, their tyrannical governess, Miss Slighcarp, and her strict sister.

Young Dido Twite, her friend Dutiful Penitence, and a Nantucket boy named Nate, help unravel a mystery involving Dutiful's treacherous Aunt Tribulation, a sinister conspiracy and an elusive pink whale.

Her mission to bring an expert on games back to an ailing King James III in London takes Dido Twite to a small tropical island, where she is caught up in the conflict between a conniving city dweller and the more subtle powers of the native forest people.

Dido becomes embroiled with villainous plotters against the king, including her own wicked father.

As they search for Arun's mother, Is Twite and her cousin Arun are grateful for their ability to communicate telepathically when they find themselves in a series of dangerous predicaments involving the evil Dominic de la Twite and his Silent Sect.

Dido travels to Scotland and, aided by Woodlouse and by Father Sam's cousin Malise, the Witch of Clatteringshaws, seeks another heir to the throne who can relieve her friend Simon of the burden of being king of England.
