Martha Hunt Handler

This is a well written spiritual mystery. A grieving teenager's perspective clearly depicts a family crisis/tragedy. The oral storytelling shows the what-if scenarios often faced in an unexpected death. We learn of social norms, cultural rituals, and see phases of self-regulated learning being applied. Additionally, the storyline demonstrates the respect and protection of wildlife and nature.

I received this book through the generosity of Anna Sacca, Senior Publicity Manager with FSB Associates… (meer)

I went into this book with no expectations. I can tell you however that if I had any expectations that they were blown away. The way that the author intertwined the spirituality of reincarnation with wolves and death was nice. I have read other books with this type of concept and some were good and others were too far out there on the concept.

Bean is the main voice of this book. Her strong need to learn the truth about her brother's death was felt. While, I did not know much about Sam, it is as if I had known him all my life. Therefore, the emotions that Bean felt were like my feelings. The wolf was a symbol in this book.

I could not stop reading this book. I had become so invested in the story and the characters. When the truth did come out; my heart broke. A sad ending but an educating one that people that help to prevent. Winter of the Wolf is in my top ten books as one of the best of the year!… (meer)
