Can two Ice Age teens separated from their tribes overcome their differences to outwit their pursuer and survive the unforgiving wilds?
The climate is changing, game is disappearing, and two peoples of the Ice Age compete for survival in a savage world. Keena, from a powerful band of Neanderthals, and Shinoni, daughter of a Cro-Magnon shaman, are torn from their families by Haken, a ruthless hunter. The girls dislike each other but soon discover they need one another to survive. Together they escape but are pursued by Haken across an Ice Age landscape rumbling with advancing glaciers and teeming with mighty predators.
As Shinoni and Keena work to overcome disaster at every turn, they are joined by Tewa, a powerful she-wolf who becomes their guardian and spirit guide. Can their growing friendship overcome cultural, racial, and even species differences? Will they ever be able to get back to their families? Only the spirits know.

What reviewers said
What an enjoyable and inspiring read for junior readers with an original setting. Lots of problem-solving and girl power, with clean, suitable content. I feel this easy-to-read tale of two girls from different backgrounds will be very appealing to 10- to 14-year-olds and I will certainly be buying it for our school library once published.
Sisters of the Wolf contains action and adventure, a unique historical setting and a story about strong women and girls, and so there is something to suit every taste in the intermediate age group. Recommended.
This unusual adventure takes readers on an action-filled journey of resilience, equality, and friendship.
The action in this fast-paced survival story moves quickly as the girls come across one fearful predator and pitfall after another, and the novel is sure to pique an interest in prehistoric people and places.
Miller-Schroeder shows that girls have always been capable on their own, and encourages young girls to get interested in prehistory, and scientific fields like paleontology and archaeology. Both informative and engaging, Sisters of the Wolf will interest readers of Jean Auelâs Earthâs Children series, and anyone interested in learning about prehistory. Recommended for readers aged 11-16.
An atmospheric and suspenseful tale that will take young readers back to prehistoric times.
