A New York Times bestseller! "Don't miss this dazzling tour de force."-Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal winning author of The One and Only Ivan
This gripping novel about survival and family is based on the real story of one wolf's incredible journey to find a safe place to call home. Illustrated throughout, this irresistible tale by award-winning author Rosanne Parry is for fans of Sara Pennypacker's Pax and Katherine Applegate's The One and Only Ivan.

Swift, a young wolf cub, lives with his pack in the mountains learning to hunt, competing with his brothers and sisters for hierarchy, and watching over a new litter of cubs. Then a rival pack attacks, and Swift and his family scatter.

Alone and scared, Swift must flee and find a new home. His journey takes him a remarkable one thousand miles across the Pacific Northwest. The trip is full of peril, and Swift encounters forest fires, hunters, highways, and hunger before he finds his new home.

Inspired by the extraordinary true story of a wolf named OR-7 (or Journey), this irresistible tale of survival invites readers to experience and imagine what it would be like to be one of the most misunderstood animals on earth. This gripping and appealing novel about family, courage, loyalty, and the natural world is for fans of Fred Gipson's Old Yeller and Katherine Applegate's Endling.
Plus don't miss Rosanne Parry's stand-alone companion novel, A Whale of the Wild.
Includes black-and-white illustrations throughout and a map as well as information about the real wolf who inspired the novel.

Packs of gray wolves surround his house in Minnesota. Let him lead you on an intimate journey through their mysterious world, making a persuasive case for the protection of this threatened species, and showing how wolves and humans can live together.

Fiction Choice Affordances and Limitations

# data[].attributes.body
Affordances:

This story is engaging right from the start. It is told in first person from the wolf's perspective, which will captivate young readers. Each chapter introduces either a new challenge or a new animal. There are illustrations every fourth page or so to break up passages. There is a non fiction passage after the novel that describe the real life wolf that inspired the story. Students will love to hear that this story was based on real events.

Limitations:

There are 208 pages of text, which could be challenging for some readers. The first person point of view should make understanding the story easier, but since it's a unique approach, readers may need guidance to understand what a wolf might be able to experience.

Nonfiction Choice Affordances and Limitations

Affordances: This book uses large photographs to point out specific attributes of different kinds of wolves. There are sections that go deep into wolf life -- like "how to speak wolf," which gives 3 points about wolf sounds. It says that "a wolf can't survive for long alone" -- this will support how incredible Swift's story is, and that it is not common for wolves. In addition to pictures, there are also maps of where they live.

Limitations: This would be a challenging book for most 4th graders to read on their own or in groups. This could be a read aloud, supported by guided group readings of smaller sections.

Students will be able to answer these questions: How are animal adaptations important to survival? How do wolves adapt to their environment?

I recently read A Wolf Called Wander. I was fascinated by the combination of the true story behind the book, and the wonderful writing style of the author. There is a section of facts about wolves, and engaging illustrations throughout. I feel this is a compelling way to teach about the science behind animal adaptation and the craft behind storytelling. Animal adaptation can be found in the fourth grade science curriculum.

Interactive Choice Affordances and Limitations 

# data[].attributes.body
Affordances:

This website allows students to click on a variety of images in each section and hear the sounds of wolves, as recorded by the authors. The images are high quality (done by National Geographic photographers). There is an interesting section on what Yellowstone would look like without wolves, and students can click on "bubbled" sections to see how other parts of the ecosystem are affected by the presence or absence of wolves.

Limitations:

The interactive applications are limited to choosing pictures and connecting text to images. The sound of wolves is engaging, but it does not vary with the sections, and the text does not have an audio option.
