Journey: Based on the True Story of Or7, the Most Famous Wolf in the West by Emma Bland Smith

libraryrobin's review

3.0

A young girl tracks the location of the first wolf in many years to live in California.
A nice story, told in two alternating voices, the wolf and the girl.

A cute, interesting book. I liked how the author personified the thoughts and feelings of the wolf, and though I found Abby's side of the story slightly less interesting, it was cool to learn about the efforts of conservationists to protect this wolf and the future of wolves in the area.

My favorite part of this book is the illustrations. They're gorgeous. I also liked the inclusion of a timeline and additional information at the back of the book.

A wonderful nonfiction tale of wolves returning to California 90 years after the last one was shot with fabulous realistic illustrations. Text is long but age-appropriate for older elementary.
