Sinossi
Gaia, una gazza anticonformista, decide di abbandonare il nido per seguire un branco di lupi nelle selvagge foreste del Nord America, dove ciascun animale vive secondo regole stabilite dalla notte dei tempi. Ma il destino di Gaia è quello di incrociare Lamar, primogenito del capo branco e suo erede, un cucciolo che, benché coraggioso e forte, non corrisponde affatto a ciò che suo padre e il branco si aspettano da lui. Non solo adora osservare le farfalle, è curioso e protettivo, ma addirittura arriva a compiere qualcosa di inconcepibile: fa amicizia con una giovane coyote. Lamar non vuole deludere i suoi, ma nemmeno tradire la sua nuova amica considerata di una razza inferiore, indegna del principe dei lupi. Età di lettura: da 9 anni.

Only a few of the characters have any sort of personality, with most of Leggi tutto

The editor that spoke about this book actually started to cry when she said that Tor Seidler had been a close friend of Jean Craighead George. This is a wonderful book and I wish I could include it on my list for 3rd graders, but in this area the animal behavior is just a little too realistic for th Leggi tutto
This book is written in a rather odd style. It starts out with a magpie protagonist, Maggie, who tells the story in the first person. The first couple of chapters deal with her life, but then she meets a wolf, and the focus switches to him as he builds a pack. Maggie is still the narrator, but plays Leggi tutto
The ending was somewhast nostalgic, it's end and thats all, without a true resolution or a definitive ending, it's simply end. I miss that, A story that was only a certain period, a certain event and then when that end, the story ends. Pure nostalgia, but the story is very irregular, and it's goes up Leggi tutto
