The art style is nice, however the story is exceptionally sad and depressing. I bought this book for my kids to read, however after reading it my self first, I dont think I want them to read it.
The story also takes many leaps and bounds through time which felt odd.

Action packed story of a young girl fleeing war with her parents only to be stranded. Takes up with a pack of dogs and a puppy who turns out to be a wolf. A little fantastical but one that will tap into the imaginations and animal fascinations of this age group
it was good. i liked all the pictures and stuff and i liked how they showed how she hunted with her pack,i thought that was cool. I didn't Like how 4 years past in the the course of the book. I felt like it was a bit too fast paced and could've shown a little more detail. the cliffhanger was good but kind of random and i have no idea what those guys were doing. other than that it was a pretty good book.

Anh Do's new series is a bit of a departure from his earlier "Wierdo", "Hot Dog" and "Ninja Kid" - there are still a few of laughs but here is a more serious tone - When a disaster strikes suddenly Gwen is seperated from her family. Lost in the wilderness Gwen is not alone for long, first Puppy and then Nosey (a retriver), Zip the greyhound, Tiny (a chihuahua), and Brutus the mastiff have all been left behind in the chaos. Together Gwen and her dogs learn to survive in the wilderness and look after each other.
Days turn into months and then years, eventually Gwen knows that no-one is coming: If she is ever going to find her family they are going to have to start searching for other people. Gwen and her crew set off into the forest further than they have ever gone before, they face dangers and scares but the greatest danger to Gwen might be other people!
Lighter on the laughs but chock full of adventure this story is bound to fascinate the 8-12 age group. There are plenty of illustrations to distract even reluctant readers and a cliff-hanger at the end which will guarantee young readers will be asking for book #2 (out December 2019) as soon as they finish Wolf Girl.
As one happy 8 year old reader told me "It was fun and a bit scary but not too scary so I could read it at night".

Just finished reading this with my 7.5 year old. She adored it and it made for lovely parent-daughter time. She can’t wait to read Book 2.
