Discerning wolves agree: SECRETS OF THE WOLVES is great!
At her reading of SECRETS OF THE WOLVES in Berkeley, CA, author Dorothy Hearst brought along real wolves for the audience to meet and learn about. As you can see below, one wolf thought her book was so good he tried eating it!
SECRETS OF THE WOLVES is the second in The Wolf Chronicles trilogy, in which Hearst imagines a time 14,000 years ago when humans and wolves lived not so different lives, a time when they had to learn to cooperate and depend on one another in order to survive.

"A crackling foray into a dangerous past...Immediately absorbing...Hearst's keen interpretations of wolf behavior, senses, and sensibilities will enchant paranormal fans and animal lovers alike." --Publishers Weekly, on PROMISE OF THE WOLVES
"A vivid, enchanting tale of friendship, trust, and adventure, good Tolkien-esque ingredients." --Kirkus Reviews, on PROMISE OF THE WOLVES

Upcoming titles already receiving excellent reviews
September will see the release of New York Times bestselling author Mary McGarry Morris's LIGHT FROM A DISTANT STAR and standout debut author Stephen Wetta's IF JACK'S IN LOVE. Check out the phenomenal press these novels have already begun accumulating!
"Morris offers a timeless and timely look at small town life, as seen by wise, verbose...thirteen-year-old heroine Nellie Peck...Morris's page-turner (which evokes TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD) will...send new readers searching for her earlier titles." --Publisher's Weekly
"Deftly, Wetta illuminats the gulf between the innocence of age 12 and the realizations that arise at 13...At turns unsparing, tender, and disturbing when it comes to rivalry and the nuances of love versus obligation, this is no typical bildungsroman. That Jack emerges from a crucible determined never to look back is unsurprising; it is the path leading him to this conclusion that is intelligently, wonderfully conceived." --Publishers Weekly
