The Wolf Who Cried Boy, author Mark Mupotsa-Russell

August 27, 2025 • Johanna Fink, Host of Yellow Shelf

‘If you know where to look, kiddo, the world is full of magic and monsters.’

Six-year-old Henry believes his life is a fairytale. He’s a Star Prince, his mum is a Star Queen and they’re hiding from Henry’s father, the mysterious ‘Wolf King’.

When news arrives that his Grandma is gravely ill, Henry and his mum must take a road trip across the country and back into the Wolf King’s orbit. Henry isn’t afraid: he knows his magic powers will save them. But as the King draws ever closer, Henry’s world starts to fall apart.

Who is the real baddie in his life?

Who can he trust?

And why don’t his powers seem to work?

In this astoundingly original story of heroes, villains and the messy reality between them, a world of violence and fear can be wildly funny and streaked with magic.

Through its unforgettable narrator, The Wolf Who Cried Boy explores how cycles of violence, misogyny and corruption must be broken if we ever want our children to grow up free.
