 A young wolf named Spur, who is looking for food, is hurt when a shot comes from a helicopter that appears in the sky. Spur’s family scatters for cover. When the woods get quiet again, Spur finds another pack of wolves. She tells them of the attack. Although she misses her family, she feels grateful to the new pack. After a while, the roar of the helicopter returns. She warns the other wolves and they hide. Then, Spur hears a familiar wolf call. It is her brother. She splits from the pack and joins him. Evocative artwork of wolves in their natural habitats enhances this empowering story. An author’s note tells more about culling wolves to protect livestock and to stabilize caribou populations, and the fact that there is evidence that killing wolves helps. A resource list is also included. mjw |
