Swift's journey as he tries to find his way home.
Book Review by Gracie aged 8 Recommended age group 8-12 Main character - Wander / Swift Outline of the story - An angry pack of wolves attack Swift’s pack so Swift drives one attacking wolf away but on his way back he gets lost. The story tells Swifts journey as he tries to find his way home . What I liked about the book - I liked how it actually described that being a lone wolf is like being in a battle . Swift never gave up and kept hoping. Would I recommend the book to others? Yes because the first page of the story draws you in . Readers who like animals would enjoy this. Score 10/10

What a wonderful story!
This is a fabulous book! Kids love it, and it works very well for teachers to use in grade four when talking about habitats. It's such a deeply touching story, and it's so well written! It allows teachers to highlight many different literary devices. Beautiful story and it's based on the journey of a genuine wolf in California and Oregon. Love it!
