Even though it was the third book of the series, i thought each individual book was amazingly written and executed, and this book was no exception. Jean craighead George has an amazing ability to connect the reader with the wolves and nature and the whole ecology and natural life theme of the book, while still entertaining, it is magical despite ludicrous ideas of animals speaking to humans and the wolves actually have wolf-like mentalities, yet it still writes of a loving bond between wolf and wolf and human and wolf. An amazing read which i plan to reread. I reccomend it to all ages.
