book coaxes the wolf out from its camouflage of myth and reveals

Firekeeper only vaguely remembers a time when she didn't live
with her "family," a pack of "royal wolves"-bigger, stronger,
and smarter than normal wolves. Now her pack leaders are sending
her back to live among the humans, as they promised her mother
years ago. Some of the humans think she may be the lost
heir to their throne. This could be good-and it could be very,
very dangerous. In the months to come, learning to behave like a
human will turn out to be more complicated than she'd ever
imagined. |

| A pack of wolves
makes a sudden savage return to the Rocky Mountain ranching town
of Hope, Montana, where a century earlier they were slaughtered
by the thousands. Now shielded by law as an endangered species,
they reawaken an ancient hatred that will tear a family, and
ultimately the town, apart. At the center of the storm is
Helen Ross, a twenty-nine-year-old wolf biologist sent alone
into this remote and hostile place to protect the wolves from
those who seek to destroy them. The Loop charts her struggle,
and her dangerous love affair with the son of her most powerful
opponent, the brutal and charismatic rancher Buck Calder. |

irresistible reversal of the classic tale, we meet Little Wolf,
who is tired of the same old dinners like Lamburgers and Sloppy
Does. How he wishes his mother could serve a nice platter of his
favorite dish-Boy! The only problem is that Boy is just too hard
to come by these days. So what's the best way for rascally
Little Wolf to get his parents all stirred up and postpone his
boring dinner? By yelling, "BOY! BOY!" on his way home from
school-sending his parents on a wild hunt all over the
countryside! But how long will Little Wolf's trick work? And
what will happen to him (and to dinner) when a real boy finally
does come along? |

jobs for Grandma (are you sure you don't want to sit a little

Filmmaker Jim Dutcher and his wife Jamie lived with gray wolves
for three years to make this documentary, and their work reveals
complex social behavior never before captured on film. You'll
observe the dominance of the pack's alpha male and the
submissiveness of the omega wolf. You'll see the pack initiate
new members, and witness the critical moment when the alpha
selects a mate. Perhaps most incredible is the bond developed
between the wolves and the Dutchers, who ultimately must move
the pack to another reserve in order to keep them alive. |
