Brother of the Wolves door Jean Thompson
Read this book in a thrift store, honestly I can't say much about it other than that it's a take on one of my favorite concepts - a child raised by wolves, if only for a little while.
What ages would I recommend it too? – Five and up.
Length? – An evening's read.
Characters? – Memorable, several characters.
Setting? – Real world among the Native Americans before they were on reservations.
Written approximately? – 1978.
Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? – Ready to read more.
Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? No.
Short storyline: A baby is saved by wolves, and then by a prominent man in a tribe. He grows up with some tribe members fearing him and his ability to continue communicating with the family of wolves that kept him alive for many months.
Notes for the reader: Interesting connotations on how to deal with bullys. It still encourages ignorance though, which doesn't work, as the story shows. In the end, I think he made it clear he would learn to stand up for himself, and his friends would stand with him.
As a writer, this was a relaxing, fun story that breaks most of the current "rules."… (meer)
