The wolf star, brightest of all in the summer sky, shines over my home ground. I know every hidden lake and rocky ridge, but if my pack is not in the mountains, then it is no home to me. I feel a howl deep inside, but dare not let it out.
Swift lives with his pack in the mountains, until one day his home and family are lost. Alone and starving, Swift must make a choice: stay and try to eke out a desperate life on the borders of his old hunting grounds, or strike out and find a new place to call home. The journey Swift must go on is long and full of peril for a lone wolf, and he’ll need to take every chance he can. Will he find the courage to survive all by himself?
Inspired by a true story, A Wolf Called Wander is about family, courage and survival. With beautiful illustrations from artist Mónica Armiño and an extra factual section about wolves and their environment, this book is perfect for animal lovers.

That was a well written read and written from the perspective of a wolf, it was interestingly inspired by a real wolf's journey. At the back of the book it gives a brief summary of this and then a few pages of wolf facts. Great for wildlife fans . Swift lives with his family, happily learning survival tricks from his family. When a new pack moves into their territory, it devastates the family, with a few deaths and also family members running away. Swift tries to survive and find his family but ends up alone. Can he start his own pack somewhere? Aimed at 9+
I thought this book was absolutely amazing! its just such a touching story, unlike some other books I have read I didn't want this one to ever end. I would recommend this book to everyone who loves animals, and definitely wolves!
I would recommend this book for ages 7-12. It is a story about a wolf called Swift and how he grows up. At the end, he reflects on his life and changes his name to Wander.
I like this book because my favourite animals are wolves. It really felt like I was part of the pack and I loved it!
A Wolf Called Wander is an amazing book filled with detailed illustrations. It is cleverly written to a wolfs understanding, blood is called red and a scab is called bark. Swift (the main character) gets lost and has to find his way back to a female wolf that he had saved earlier on from a noise maker (car). A raven loyally follows and guides the wolf to food, working together so he can get his share of meat.
Swift longs for a pack of his own, when all of his old pack are killed during a fight. He searches for his old family and finds a new one. This book is based on a real story of a grey wolf called Oregon 7. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK !
it is a journey a wolf took to find his family when they had been attacked by another pack of wolves
