I was fortunate enough to win a copy of this book through Library Thing. It is a very quick read geared towards young adult readers aged 9-12. The setting is British Columbia and the main character is a Park Ranger named Garrett Brock and his 4 adopted lycanthropes: Noble, Argus, Harlan, and Tora. If you missed the other books in the series, no need to worry; this one is a standalone & fills in the gaps in case the reader, like me did not read the ones in the middle.
This book follows the kids still trying to fit in the human world when they try to get a handle on shape shifting into wolves. A local mountain man’s beloved pet dog and his rabbits are killed by wolves; Ernie Ilson tries to bring together the town into a lynch mob to go after these wolves. The Ranger is torn between his duties as a Ranger and his fraternal instincts as a father to protect his pack at home. In the end, the kids and Ranger learn from this experience and the kids are accepted more into their school crowd & not so much as outcasts.
With only 151 pages, this book is a very quick read and younger children would love this book. I was impressed that this book is Canadian and also made with recycled material & is printed on acid free paper. I really enjoyed this series. ( )

As with any series; to better like each future installment you must originally have seen; liked and read the original. Then it comes down to how do follow-ups; how do the sequels, prequels, trilogies, etc., hold up to that original. Does it add or does it detract? Does it make things worse or better? Do the characters devalue or do they gain in value? I will say - as I leave much of this up to you the reader - that in many respects this ADDS to the series. It furthers the series and makes it better. A few missteps along the way; but it definitely improves. ( )

This book was pretty good. The only problem was that I read the other 3 books so long ago, that I can't quite remember what they were about, but that's ok! This book was really good! I remember in Cry Wolf, Argus ingured a wolf, and turned him into a werewolf. I was so scared for what it might mean for the town of Redstone. But in this book, it wasn't THAT bad. To tell you the truth, no one was hurt at all. There weren't any fights or deathes. I think this book was the calmest of all of them. I hope that Edo can Belkom writes another bok for the series! I really want to see what else happens in the Brock clan! ( )

If you like the series, you'll like this one as well.
