| Lone Wolf (Wolves of the Beyond book 1) - Kathryn Lasky |
"A wolf mother has given birth, but the warm bundle snuffling next to her brings only anguish. The pup, otherwise healthy, has a twisted paw, and the mother knows what the harsh code of the pack demands. Her pup will be taken from her and abandoned on a desolate hill. The pack cannot have weakness - the wolf mother knows that her pup is condemned to die.
But alone in the wilderness, the pup, Faolan, does not perish. This his story - a story of survival, of courage, and of love triumphant. This is Faolan's story, the wolf pup who rose up to change forevever the Wolves of the Beyond." --Taken from Amazon.com
This novel is set for the ages 7-12, but anyone could read it. It's a story about a beautiful relationship between a wolf cub and a bear. While there is barely any dialogue, Kathryn Lasky explains all sorts of ways bears are different from wolves. The way they are raised, they way they use their body language, how they walk and talk, etc. Faolan learns a lot from the bear, but instinct also gets in the way. Poor Faolan is confused and doesn't know what to make of his life. He doesn't understand why he's there, why he was abandoned in the first place, but he's determined to find out the truth. I recommend it to all.
