✦ Synopsis

What's it like to be a wolf living in the wilds off her own wits and strength? You can find out by reading about Sedra, a young wolf driven away by her packmates, who settles down in completely new territory. There she meets Jasper, a young male wolf also in search of a home. Sedra and Jasper hunt, play, learn their territory, and, with the coming of spring, begin a family—a new wolf pack.Dorothy Hinshaw Patent draws on her extensive knowledge of wolf behavior, gained by helping raise a litter of wolf pups in captivity, taking long walks in the woods with a captive wolf named Koani, and observing wild wolves in Alaska, to create a dramatic story told completely from the wolf's point of view. Realistic and quick-paced, Return of the Wolf provides fascinating details of the animals' communication, wolf pups' birth and training, and the wolves' struggles to overcome obstacles and survive.Written by an award-winning author of books for young people and adults and originally published by Clarion Books in 1995 in an illustrated version, this book popular with readers has been out of print for several years but is now available as an ebook.School Library Journal wrote in a review, "Patent offers such close-up natural descriptions and keen observations that readers will feel as though they were in the wild...A wonderful read-aloud." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books' review said, "The writing is brisk and direct, finding a narrative line without imposing an unnatural plot."
