It’s a fairly realistic depiction of nature-it doesn’t disney-sugarcoat its animals into being all bestie-pals or anything some are definitely food and some are definitely competing fiercely for resources, but it’ll pan away before it rips your kids’ hearts out.
based on the real-world wolf OR-7 (aka journey), A Wolf Called Wander tells the story of a wolf cub separated from his pack and his struggles to stay alive in a confusing world full of the dangers and difficulties that face a wolf too young to have learned how to survive on his own-to know what to eat, what to avoid eating, where to seek help, and when to be cautious. This is such a good middle grade animal book. This is a book we'll be adding to our home library for sure and one that I highly recommend. There's also a good amount of information about wolves in general, the animals that live among them, and how biologists are working to track them. Something I love about the book is all the added information in the back about the real OR-7 who is also known as Journey. This might be worth thinking about if you have a more sensitive child. Unfortunately, my younger daughter was a little disgusted with some of the more graphic scenes of hunting and mentioning of blood, which really surprised me, but there are only a few scenes. Reading this book made me think about how much I would of loved it as a child. I found the story adventurous and even emotional at times. I fell in love with this book and the writing is truly wonderful-it's atmospheric and really pulls you into nature with all the descriptions and stunning illustrations. The story is based on the true story of OR-7, a real wolf from Oregon. The questions are: What path will Swift take, and will it ever lead him back to his family?
As he navigates through the dangerous lands, he remembers everything he learned from his parents and puts it all into practice. After getting separated from his family, his survival instincts kick in, and he is exposed to many dangers including starvation, hunters, and other animals to name a few. A Wolf Called Wander is a middle-grade book about a wild wolf pup named Swift.
