A sequel to the novels, Wolf Pack, Lone Wolf and Cry Wolf, this story has the right amount of tension and intrigue. A pack of teenage werewolves secretly lives with the town ranger, a conscientious conservationist, Ranger Brock. The Pack are simultaneously accessible as normal teenagers - struggling in math and trying out for school teams - and mysterious as werewolves. The small wilderness town in Canada, filled with loggers and vigilantes seem likely to disobey Ranger Brock’s order not to shoot wolves that are terrorizing the town’s people. The leader of the wolves encroaching upon the town is the Wolf Man created earlier in the series – a wolf bitten by one of the Pack’s werewolves. Wolf Man is reaching out to the ranger because his mate is in danger. Can Ranger Brock keep his strange family safe, help Wolf Man and appease the angered town? This book is wonderful for drawing upon themes of trapping and conservation and tying them into the mythology of werewolves. An exiting story recommended for any youth library section.
