A Dog Named Wolf

After seeing this book recommended by LT, I put it on my wishlist. Earlier in April I saw it was available through abebooks.com and bought a copy. It arrived yesterday and I read it last night.

If you enjoy wilderness/wildlife/trappers stories, you should enjoy this one. It's about a dog who is half wolf, but is more like his husky mother in his need for a master to look up to and to follow. "Wolf" faces many challenges and life-threatening situations in the Canadian wilderness.

"A Dog Named Wolf" is similar to books by Jim Kjelgaard, Jack London, Jack O'Brien and James Oliver Curwood, and definitely worth a read. There are fights and deaths within the story, but as the writing is not gratuitous in this area, it still should be okay for show more preteens and up. show less
