I'm tired of seeing the same 'An exiled is going on a revenge against their betrayer' on every wolf book I've read, how hard is it to give these poor wolves a different plot rather than vengeance over and over again?

“We have doomed the wolf not for what it is, but for what we deliberately and mistakenly perceive it to be –the mythologized epitome of a savage ruthless killer – which is, in reality, no more than a reflected image of ourself.”

—Farley Mowat, Never Cry Wolf

Teenage orphans with the ability to transform into wolves live in the woods while searching for answers that may become more than they bargained for…

A little mood board for my book! If you like werewolf stories and teen drama in a wilderness backdrop, you’ll LOVE my self-published book, The Versipellis Cell! Available on Amazon at the link below!

Did you ever read Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver? That book (and the whole series) was my obsession as a kid.

My dude, not only did I read it, I still own it (beloved)!

Also for everybody asking me about Promise of the Wolves I have her too:

If you enjoyed any of the sort of books we’ve been discussing as a kid and are looking for something along a similar vein, but want something firmly adult try “Feed Them Silence” by Lee Mandelo. Bc woof. And I mean that in the “this was upsetting, I loved it” way, not the dog way (but also in the dog way).

Reading “Wolf: Spirit of the Wild” edited by Diana Landau

oh we talking wolf books do you know this book I’ve been trying to find but search sites are useless these days:

a wolf puppy is kept by a family and eventually becomes an adult and kills the prize…bulldog or something… that they had. The family is going to kill the wolf but the wolf escapes. The child (boy?) in the family decides he will get the wolf to a nature reserve or something. So he runs away to try and help the wolf. The wolf doesn’t trust him anymore though so he steals a bunch of food and basically lures the wolf on a journey to the sanctuary. There’s a manhunt for the boy. And maybe the wolf. At some point the wolf is caught in a trap and the boy tries to free him. Eventually they reach the sanctuary and the boy lets himself be found.

Kinda reminded me of the hatchet.

Was this "Flight of the White Wolf" by Mel Ellis?

Not super familiar with that one (Hatchet by Gary Paulson on the other hand is on of my all time middle-grade faves, but does not prominently feature wolves (he gets a malamute in the last book tho)
