From Booklist
Gr. 6-9. This second book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series maintains the momentum and convincing characterizations of Wolf Brother (2005). In this story, Torak begins searching for a cure for a plague that is decimating the clans and for the seven Soul-Eaters he is destined to fight. His quest reunites him with his pack-brother Wolf and awakens powers previously unknown to him. Once again, the wealth of wilderness lore adds to the story, which is infused with an inexorable sense of mysterious menace. Sally Estes

From School Library Journal
Grade 6-9–Michelle Paver's sequel (Katherine Tegen Books, 2006) to Wolf Brother (HarperCollins, 2005) doesn't disappoint. Ian McKellen gives voice to the adventures of the prehistoric boy, Torak. Soon after having found a new home among the Raven clan, a horrible sickness—one that causes pustules to form on the victims' bodies and their minds to fail before they die—strikes various forest clans, including the Ravens. Torak sets out to find a cure. He heads to the sea, where he is kidnapped by boys of the Seal clan. On their island, he is introduced to the Seal clan's mage, who promises to help Torak with a cure for the pestilence. Meanwhile, Torak's wolf brother and his friend Wren track Torak to the Seal camp. The mage sends Torak and his kidnappers to find an ingredient for a cure. Torak, near death, discovers that he has the ability to Spirit Walk. Paver does a brilliant job of portraying not only the post-Ice Age world, but also the various consciences of boy, wolf, and even the elements of weather, sea, and plants. McKellan's pacing makes listeners feel as though the story is being told around a campfire, one that Torak himself might share. While part of a trilogy, Spirit Walker stands on its own, but those who listen to it will want to go back to Wolf Brother and will eagerly await the final book.–Francisca Goldsmith, Berkeley Public Library, CA

Reels you in like a fish on a line!

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Once I started reading the first page, I couldn't put it down. Written with careful planning, it keeps your hand turning the pages until you reach the end. It has a very unsuspecting ending, and along the way your heart is always pounding as if you were really in the book. You feel like you ARE Torak, and you feel everything that he feels - his anger, happiness, frustration, despair...Ms. Paver has wonderful talent. I wish I could write like she does!

A well-written and thrilling installment in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series
25. März 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Although he is still reeling from the violent death of his father and the loss of his "soul" mate, Wolf, Torak has found a kind of peace living with the Raven Clan. As he tries to sort out his life, he has developed a growing fondness for its leader, Fin-Kedinn, and a kinship with the gentle people. In a single moment, however, all of this changes when he encounters a sick hunter from another clan.
The sick man had yanked handfuls of hair from his scalp and beard, leaving patches of raw, oozing flesh. His face was crusted with thick honey-colored scabs like birch canker. Slime bubbled in his throat as he spat out the last of the hair --- then sat back on his heels, and began scratching a rash of blisters on his forearm.
With his heart filled with dread, Torak returns to warn the Clan of the fever that is spreading. To his horror he finds that the mad sickness has already made its claim. Where could this be coming from? Was it possible that it had something to do with the Soul-Eaters and the warnings his father had given him? With a jolting realization, Torak knows he must find the source of this sickness. Thus begins a most perilous journey --- a journey to find the cure and a journey that unfolds a past that Torak will find hard to accept.
This story is told in two voices --- one from Torak and the other from his spirit brother, Wolf. Wolf refers to Torak and other humans as Tall Tailless. His voice offers views of all the confusion, which seems to result from human greed. Although Wolf does not understand the complexities of these things, he senses good and evil and the need to protect Torak. His ultimate goal is to be reunited with Torak and his journey parallels that of his spirit brother's.
Torak builds friendships within the Seal Clan but also tragically discovers a darker secret in someone he trusted. His problems have become deeper and more complex in this story, especially as he begins to comprehend that he is a Spirit Walker. Renn, the Mage apprentice (much like a spirit advisor), is again his companion and once more proves herself to be a true friend and warrior.
SPIRIT WALKER is every bit as good, if not better, than WOLF BROTHER. There is yet another book to look forward to and the possibility of a movie. Michelle Paver is in the winner's circle with this trilogy.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The characters are vivid and you are on the edge of your seat until you find out what happens to them. A must read. The first book in this series is very good also.
