"Into the Wild" is the first novel in Anh Do's "Wolf Girl" series. It started with a bang and once I started, I couldn't put it down. I admired Gwen's resilience and bravery and adored the collection of dogs who formed her pack. Written for middle-school readers, this was a wonderful book for those who love animals and adventures and because it finished on such a cliffhanger, readers will be scrambling to get their hands on the next installment. A great read. ( )

Read this with my boy Archer (8). Good adventure story involving wild animals and survival. Most chapter are independent adventures and don’t develop the plot much. ( )
