Welcome to Litsy!

The kids are doing the One School One Book this year, and this is the book! Started reading to them the other day. So far, pretty good 👍 #oneschoolonebook #awolfcalledwander

I visited a small independent bookstore, found the tagged book, a new tea called “Wuthering Heights“, and a new bookmark. Then I stopped at the cafe next door and got a lavender latte and an oatmeal creme pie (which I ate before taking the photo). #Readathon

Some sort of domestic mishap befell my old BN Nook recently & after our trip to MD last week I decided it was a good idea to get an ereader that will make it easy to borrow ebooks from the library. Bought myself a little Kindle Fire 7 & kitted it out with a nice protective cover; inaugurating it with the tagged book. Pictured with fudge from the boardwalk at Rehoboth Beach.

My final MD BEST book! Made it with less than 24 hours to go. I appreciate the story and writing style, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. The narrator as a wolf was really interesting, especially the way some things were described (but never actually stated what they "really" are). Also appreciate the facts and bibliography at the end.

This was a fun MG read based on the real life of a wild wolf who left his home territory and traveled across the state of Oregon, finding a mate along the way and starting a new pack in an area that hadn't had wolves in decades. Overall this was a fun read (and I loved the illustrations throughout) although I did roll my eyes a bit at some things, like the wolf being basically too "noble" to eat livestock. I did feel like this book did a decent ⬇️

It was a good book, Great story even with the sad parts.

I generally don't like books with animal narrators so I picked one that is aimed at middle graders and it was excellent. It's based on real wolf who traveled 1000 miles through Oregon and finally found a mate. It delivers a whole range of emotions from joy to sadness, but ultimately it's a story of perseverance. #ReadWithMrBook #NarratedbyAnimal @MrBook

My #SummerFunJr card had a prompt for a character as a main animal, so I decided to give this one a read.

I loved it! 💚 But then, I'm a sucker for books with animals as the main character. Wander gets separated from his pack and has to figure out how to survive on his own. Of course this one has sad moments, happy moments, cringe worthy moments (when describing his hunting), and hopeful moments. It's a truly beautiful journey.

My son and I read this delightful middle-grade novel together. This tale is based on a true story and told through the perspective of a wolf who wandered over 1000 miles through Oregon and into northern California before settling with a mate in southern Oregon in a place no wolves had been spotted in 75 years. I absolutely love this book. I got it from our library's e-collection, but I think I might buy a copy to have on our shelves.

I could not be more happy with the book I chose for my nephew. At 7 years old he is a little book dragon. I debated this choice for a while in the store aisle, I am so happy that I went with my gut and bought it. It was a bit emotional, but also a learning experience. #wintergames #teamskellington #tbr #christmasgift #bookdragonnephew @Crimson613

4.5/5
Beautiful story about a wolf cub‘s survival in the wild without his pack. Inspired by the true story of a wolf named OR-7, I was immediately drawn into his world and wanted to stay there. This book will make you cry, smile but most importantly appreciate nature and this amazing species. Recommend for any nature and animal-lover!

Thumb‘s up for this one. My kids looked at me like I was crazy because I was bawling my eyes out at the ending. It‘s very sad, but full of beautiful writing and loaded with facts about wolves.
