To me communicating with wolves is fascinating. They have a language all their own and obviously an understanding and caring that some of us would do well to have.

In the end the leader of the wolf pack was shot by a hunter and she sang a song to the spirit of Amaroq that went like this:

Amaroq, Amaroq, you are my adopted father.
My feet dance because of you.
My eyes see because of you.
My mind thinks because of you.
And it thinks, on this thundering night,
That the hour of the wolf and the Eskimo is over.

Whitehawk, the difference between me reading the book and your son reading the book is that he 'had' to, I didn't.

next time i feel the need to read something on the 6th grade level i'll be sure to check it out.can't wait for your review on the catcher in the rye.

My son (13 at the time) had to read this in school years ago. We still laugh about him saying he hated the book so much that he hoped the wolves would catch her, kill her, and eat her boring b utt.

Ah, we'll! To each his own.

Just read an excellent book, Julie of the Wolves, about a 13 year old girl in Alaska who ran away and got lost. Therefore, she had to learn to communicate with wolves who helped her and saved her life. Couldn't put it down. I am considered an old lady but I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
