"Another winner from a proven author."--Booklist
The stand-alone companion to Rosanne Parry's New York Times bestseller A Wolf Called Wander tells the story of a wolf named Warm. Warm is not the strongest or biggest in his pack, but when he needs it most, he finds within himself the heart of a true leader. This Voice of the Wilderness Novel is an animal survival story illustrated in black and white throughout. Features educational back matter, including a map.
Warm is the smallest pup, the one his father calls the heart of the pack. But all Warm sees is his bigger brothers Sharp and Swift, even his sisters Pounce and Wag, winning all the wrestling matches. Warm finds his place in the pack helping take care of the young pups, a role he is assured is important, but doesn't always feel like it is.
When enemy wolves attack, the pack is forced to defend themselves. Instead of joining the fight, Warm leads the pups away to safety, only to find himself alone on the mountain with four helpless pups. His pack has scattered. The pups are his responsibility now. Fearful and uncertain, Warm and the pups climb higher and higher into the mountains. Their journey is grueling, lonely, and full of danger, and they face hunger, storms, fire, and enemy wolves nipping at their heels. Will Warm have the courage to be the leader his pack needs when the fiercest enemy of all comes to challenge him? Will Warm and the pups ever find a place to call home?
A Wolf Called Fire is a stand-alone companion novel to A Wolf Called Wander. The story is inspired by Wolf 8, a real Yellowstone wolf who was the smallest of his pack and was constantly bullied by his bigger brothers. Wolf 8 survived a tumultuous first year and grew up to be a different sort of leader--one who fought many rival wolves to submission but never killed any. He became the patriarch of the largest wolf pack in Yellowstone, not by being the biggest or strongest, but by choosing to be collaborative and generous.

My daughter loves these books
A WOLF called FIREIn the wolf called fire book, Warm was not the biggest or the strongest in his pack; he was actually the shyest and wanted to be more like his siblings. The story starts out when the pups were pups. The book tells about how the pups learn how to survive in the wild. And as the days pass and Warm's mother has more pups.The pups learn from warm how to survive. Then one training day the ice wolves attack. Warm is with the pups and he knows He must be big, bold and brave. The rest of the book was amazing how the pieces of the story fell into place. There's something about the book that made it a book that you can't put down. This book is worthy of a 5 stars and that is what I am going to give it. It was the exact book I wanted to read. Rosanne Parry did such a fantastic job with this story and you must read it if you love animals.
A very good children's book - one of the most beautiful books I've read Make sure you also read Rosanne Parry's other wolf book, A Wolf Called Wander!
Bought for my 11 year old and she loved it!
This book is so gorgeous, inside and out, in the story and the illustration! My daughter and I had read and loved A Wolf Called Wander several times over the past few years, always loving it and always SO sad when Warm 'died'. There was always a small piece of me that held out hope that Warm had survived the encounter that separated the two brothers for the rest of their lives.Turns out, we weren't the only ones and I am over the moon happy that the author came back, years later, with this follow-up story about Warm. This book is every bit as wonderful and heart-warming as the first one. And, yes, that scene where the two brothers are separated is every bit as heart-wrenching in this story as in the other one.LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK.
