Boy Who Howled

As far back as Callum can really remember, he''s been living in the Wild as the furless mascot of a wolf pack. But when his pack sends him back to live with his own kind-humans-fitting in is quite a challenge. He doesn''t remember English very well, so he accidentally says his name is "Clam." He''s spent most of his life eating fresh-killed elk, so dining with vegetarians is tricky. And when he tries to impress the Alpha student in the school cafeteria by stealing food, people seem offended!

A mix of wildness and humor, Timothy Power''s inventive writing makes him a debut author to watch. And Callum''s quest to find his place in a strange world will have readers rooting for him-when they''re not howling with laughter.
