Review Quote

"The writing is clear, concise, often riveting, and at times heartbreaking. The Dutchers' joy and astonishment are palpable, as is the humans' and wolves' mutual respect. The couple make informative observations about the pack's social hierarchy, sleeping and eating habits, and more. Playful, family-oriented, competitive, sensitive, and, above all, compassionate, wolves are very humanlike, the authors note. An eight-page color photo insert supplement the fascinating text. VERDICT Not just for animal lovers, this well-written, engaging book will appeal to a wide array of middle grade readers." -- School Library Journal STARRED REVIEW "The writing is clear, concise, often riveting, and at times heartbreaking.
