Review: Wow! My 4th Graders Want More From This Author! - My 4th Graders absolutely LOVE this book. I was looking for a read-aloud chapter book that would appeal to my male students after finishing reading a book with a strong female lead character which was also written from 3rd person perspective. I searched for books with wolves and found this one, written from the 1st person perspective of OR7, a wolf. It's been an incredible literary journey for us, even my girls are invested in OR7's journey (also known as Swift and Wander). I also purchased the Audible version to accompany the reading of the chapter book to the class and the narrator's voice! Wow! So believable, so HIM. The expression, the exasperation, the exhaustion, the sense of wonder and disgust and disbelief along with realizations that OR7 experiences in this WELL-WRITTEN book are brought to LIFE by the narrator. The illustrations! Even in black and white - - - the detail and clarity and precision had us mesmorized. Stunning visual journey. Bravo. I started off this chapter book with the back section of the book which is full of background information on the real life wolf OR7's journey map across the northwest US. Then we read the sections about wolf paw prints vs bear paw prints and the typical prey that wolves eat. That entire back section is GOLD. This book perfectly incorporates life science learning! So many innate and learned behaviors, life cycle, food web, environmental impact (black ice, warm glass), human/animal conflict...........this is a new FAVORITE book for me. Several students bought their own copy because they couldn't wait for our class to finish the book. They WANT to read and this author has tapped into what interests 4th graders! Bookmunchers want more from this author. Review: Not just for young readers - I don't think I can adequately describe how much I loved reading this book. Most of my acquaintances would tell you I'm a cat person, but I've long considered the wolf to be my spirit animal (apologies to Natives who would take offense at the appropriation). Everything about them calls to my soul. For that reason, I can't believe I haven't found this book before. Although it's considered a youth read, it made this fully adult - and then some - reader cry real tears more than once. The behaviors and motivations are so beautifully described, and the illustrations are nothing short of wonderful. That it's based on the travels of a real Oregon wolf make it that much more satisfying. I can't recommend it strongly enough. Long live Warm! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,951 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Children's Fox & Wolf Books (Books) #19 in Children's Mammal Books (Books) #306 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,581 Reviews | ## Images ![A Wolf Called Wander: A Gripping Animal Survival Story About a Young Wolf Seeking Home in the Mountains (A Voice of the Wilderness Novel, 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cdk0X4DoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow!
