In a time of superstition and magic, a young apprentice hunter, Robyn Goodfellowe, journeys to Ireland with her father whose job it is to wipe out the last wolf pack. Robyn, unable to hunt with her father and sick of being confined, sneaks out to explore the forbidden lands outside the city walls. There, Robyn befriends a free-spirited girl, Mebh, a member of a mysterious tribe of WOLFWALKERS rumored to have the ability to transform into wolves by night.
After learning that WOLFWALKERS aren't to be feared, Robyn decides she must protect Mebh and her pack from the hunters. As the girls search for Mebh’s missing mother, Robyn uncovers a secret that draws her further into the enchanted world of the WOLFWALKERS and risks turning her into the very thing her father is tasked to destroy.
This graphic novel makes a great gift for readers of all ages and includes a special introduction, written and illustrated by film cocreator, Tomm Moore, and co-Art Director, Maria Pareja.
WolfWalkers is created by Cartoon Saloon, the award-winning Irish studio behind some of the industry's most renowned animated films including Song of the Sea and The Secret of Kells.

Customer Reviews
Lovely story
So lovely
Save your money,watch the movie
From a perspective of a person who has watched the movie three times,I strongly suggest you NOT to buy this book.
Graphic novel is way less expressive than the movie (at least in this case)
If you really care about the quality of this adaptation,I can tell you it’s not awful but definitely not great ,some scenes in the movie are missing and that kind of ruins the emotional experience a bit.
And there is no extra content.(If you count the fadó fadó part as well,be my guest)
If you really love Wolfwalkers and want to support the Cartoon Saloon,go buy The Art of Wolfwalkers instead.
If you only cares about the story,go watch the film,you can have way better experience with amazing voice cast and stunning animation.
