and this morning on "al's book club for kids," "chronicles of ancient darkness: wolf brother" by michelle paver. this popular series takes us back 6,000 years when a young boy and a wolf cub must save themselves and the world. michelle paver is here, along with our new book club kids, ian goldstein, treasure melvin and tatiana perry. good to see you, everybody. nice to see all of you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> did you guys have a good time reading the book? >> yes. >> all right. well we're going to get to let you ask michelle some questions. i just want to talk to her for just a second. how did you come up with this idea of going back in time? >> actually, it goes back to when i was about 10, al, and i was incredibly keen on the stone age. i think i loved the idea of living in the forest and gathering food, and using a bow and arrow and i tried to live like that in my bed and skinned a rabbit. >> you skinned a rabbit? >> i did. >> i bet he put up a fuss?
9:46 am
>> no. and i also loved wolves. i was incredibly keen on wolves. and i wanted a wolf of my own. i pestered my parents. >> they wouldn't give you one? >> sadly not. they gave me a spaniel, instead. but he kind of became a wolf in my imagination. so i think that's where it comes from. you know, and now, i'm getting to write these stories and i'm finally getting what i want to as a 10-year-old, to have adventures in the forest with a wolf. >> what kind of research did you have to do for this? >> right from the start i wanted to make it real. i wanted each of the readers to feel that they're having the adventure in the forest. so i thought i'd go there. i rode 300 miles through the forest in northern finland. i slept on reindeer skins, a bit like this one. i ate all sort of stone age food and got to meet wolves. >> you got to meet them? >> i did. i became friends with some wolves at a wolf preserve. because i wanted to make him a real wolf and part of the story is told from his point of view.
9:47 am
>> you brought back some interesting souvenirs from your travels. some of the kids are holding them. tell us about them. >> ian over here is holding an actual stone age ax head. it would have been mounted on a handle. and this would have been one of torak's trusted friends. he would use it for chopping down trees, for chopping down firewood. >> and tatiana, that's not a skin condition, she's wearing some interesting gloves. >> these are some reindeer hide mittens i got from northern canada. and they just the sort of things that torak wears when it gets really wold in "wolf brother" doors the end of the book. >> and treasure is holding -- >> a piece of antler which i picked up in greenland. and torak uses that in "wolf brother" when he falls down a country vast and has to use it
9:48 am
to get out. >> i would like to ask michelle paver that in the first part of her book, when thorak says he has to prepare for his death journey and he uses a bow and three arrows. why would he use a bow and three arrows when he knows he's going to die in his condition? >> well, this is a good question. basically, i try to invent the beliefs of torak's time, which is a sne age, using beliefs of tradition 58 hunter/gatherers today. and a lot of them believe that when they die they go on a journey to somewhere else and they need things like arrows so that they can shoot and hunt, just as they would in real life. >> oh, okay. >> all right. >> danielle? >> what inspired you to write chronicles of ancient darkness? >> i think it was mainly that i wanted to have a wolf as a friend. and since i live in wimbledon in south london which is a bit tricky to have a wolf. i thought i better do it in my imagination. and now i get to have amazing
9:49 am
adventures because torak and his best friend, wren, who is a girl, who is the best shot in the forest with a bow and arrow, i'm also her. i get to have these great as ventures and go on research trips. >> treasure, what's your question for miss paver? >> what made you want to become an author? and why? >> yeah, you know, i've always wanted towrite. i wrote my first story when i was 5. wasn't very good. the spelling was terrible. but my mother kept it, actually, rather embarrassingly, so i've always liked writing stories. i think because you can make up worlds. and just escape into them and it's really fun. so that's why i write. >> tatiana, i know your hands are warm right now, but what's your question? >> what made you come up with the character of torak? >> how you come up with characters is a very strange thing. part of torak is me. he's a loner. but i kind of made him a bit of an improved version of me,
9:50 am
because i have no sense of direction. at all. but torak is pretty good. he can move around through the forest, never gets lost. he's great at tracking. he can track animals, from little signs and things in the forest. >> i want to get danielle's question in really quick. what's your question? >> i feel like i -- >> you already asked your question, huh? >> i left out ian. i'm sorry. >> what made you decide to have torak devep a friendship with a wolf instead of a human? >> yes, well i think i've always loved wolves. partly because when i was a very small child my parents had a great big german shepherd dog, who looked after me. so my memory was always very good of a wolf-like dog. so it just seemed natural. and also, watches are really clever, and it's a very good friend to have when you're having adventure. >> that's what i've always felt. michelle, thank you so much. kids, thank you very much. terrific. ain the book is called "chronicles of ancient darkness: wolf brother."

10:23 am
