I'm currently reading Book 1 (Lone Wolf) of the "Wolves of the Beyond"-series by "The Legend of the Guardians"-author Kathryn Lasky.
I've already read it a few years ago in English. That was way before I started reading the LotG-books and so many things seemed quite odd to me and didn't make sense at all. But now I'm reading it again (the German version) and this time I enjoy it quite much. Yes, it's still a bit strange at times and there are several flaws in the story, but apart from that Kathryn did a very nice job of describing young Faolans bounding to his mother Thunderheart.

For those of you who don't know the series, it's a spin-off from the LotG-series and deals with a wolf pup called Faolan who has been left by his pack to die. That's because he has a strangely-marked paw and it's the way of the wolves in the stories. He is then adopted by a grizzly bear called thunderheart. A very touching story indeed
