Om denne e-boken
An orphan girl finds kinship with a motherless wolf pup in this “little gem of a book for all wild-hearted lovers of the natural world” (Kirkus, starred review)
Twelve-year-old Nika just wants a place to call home. Since she and her younger brother Randall became orphans, they’ve moved from one foster home to another. And now they’re making the biggest move of all—leaving California to visit their long-lost Uncle Ian, a wildlife biologist who lives in rural Minnesota.
While the change is daunting, Nika soon makes unlikely friends with the wolves her uncle studies, and with a local boy who hates to see them locked away in cages. Polly Carlson-Voiles’s debut middle grade novel explores themes of searching for family and finding a balance between caring for wild animals and allowing them to go free.

Om forfatteren
Polly Carlson-Voiles says this novel, her first, grew out of several things: her longtime love of the wilderness country in northern Minnesota, her experiences with wolves at the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minnesota, and her career of working with lost and found children as a secondary special ed/English teacher in inner city Minneapolis. She lives with her husband and dog near Ely, Minnesota, high on a ridge across the lake from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, where on lucky nights they listen to the music of the wolves.
