Child of the Wolves by Elizabeth Hall; Yearling Books: New York, 1996.
Illustrator- Tom Antonishak
Imagine that you are a Siberian-Husky puppy abandoned in the Alaskan forest with no foods for days. You would be hungry and frightened. In Child of the Wolves this happened. This fiction book is written by Elizabeth Hall.
This book is about a Siberian-Husky puppy named Granite. He was the oldest but the smallest out of the litter. One day a stranger came to buy huskies because the puppies were at a kennel. He picked up one of Granite's bothers. Then he picked up Granite, but Granite didn't want to leave. So Granite bit the stranger and ran off to the forest. He ran and ran until he couldn't any more. Weeks passed with out food. Then he saw a pack of wolves. The leader of the wolf pack, Snowdrift went up to him. She took Granite in. The wolves didn't like him because he was a dog.
This book is fabulous. It was very spellbinding. Granite's journey is gripping. I really liked the part where he encounters danger with a grizzly bear. It's a book about survival. Granite is alone, but finally gets taken in by a wolf pack to teach him how to survive. This makes me think of how people often treat new people they don't know anything about. The theme is, no matter what, everyone needs help from someone sometimes.
The author wrote this in third person point of view. It focused on the main character, Granite. It is interesting because they never speak, yet you know what they are saying and feeling because the narrator tells you everything. I would recommend this book to people that like animal stories or wolves. This is an animal book with dogs and wolves. This would be appropriate for children ages 10 and up.

a good wilderness tale
Rating:
4 / 5
This is the story of Granite, who runs away from his Siberian Husky family [ whom he loved greatly] to escape being taken away by a stranger. While lost in the Alaskan wilderness he meets up with a wolf pack. The story is about Granites struggle to gain acceptance in this new family. This book is very well written fast paced and should appeal to all readers. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because Julie of the wolves was better
A Great Book for All Ages
Rating:
5 / 5
If you like Fictional Adventure books, you should read Child of the Wolves.It's very unpredictable. If you are an animal lover this book is for you. Once you pick up the book, you won't be able to put the book down. I liked how Granite had to earn his place in the wolf pack. I also liked when Granite encountered the human hunters. My favorite is how Snowdrift, the alpha male, welcomed him to the pack, I thought Snowdrift would kill Granite.
