Поистине удивительная книга, которая дарит нам возможность взглянуть на этот мир глазами животного — волка по имени Странник. Повествование в ней ведется от его лица. Мы проследим всю его жизнь с того самого момента, когда он появился на свет.

В книге нет положительных или отрицательных героев, волки тут не безжалостные хищники, а гордые и смелые животные, с уважением относящиеся к природе.

Это мир зверей, и он живет по собственным законам. Мир людей кажется им странным и опасным, опаснее, чем мир животных.

Эта книга создана на основе реальной истории путешествия волка из американского заповедника. С помощью радиоошейника ученые проследили его путь через всю страну. Автор основывается на научных данных о волках, поэтому все особенности их обитания соответствуют действительности.

В конце книги есть небольшой научный раздел. Там представлены фотографии волка — прототипа Странника, рассказывается его история, а также научные факты о жизни волков в Северной Америке (и автор, и ее герой-волк живут именно там).

У книги символическое название. Автор посвятила ее всем, кто странствует в поисках дома, поднимая важную тему вынужденной эмиграции. С этой точки зрения книга может быть воспринята как метафора многих социальных и политических процессов, происходящих в современном мире.

Alone and starving, Swift must make a choice: stay and try to eke out a desperate life on the borders of his old hunting grounds, or strike out and find a new place to call home. The journey Swift must go on is long and full of peril for a lone wolf, and he'll need to take every chance he can. Will he find the…

From Rosanne Parry, author of the acclaimed Heart of a Shepherd, comes an exciting and tender friendship story about two cousins looking for their destiny.

On a beautiful day in June, the ground broke open.

In Japan, you’re always prepared for an earthquake. That’s why Kai knows just what to do when the first rumbles shake the earth. And then he does the exact opposite of what you’re supposed to do: He runs. And then the tsunami hits.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pacific, Kai’s cousin Jet sets sail off the coast of Astoria, Oregon. She knows she should have checked the tide—she always checks the tide. Except this time she didn’t.

When the biggest mistakes of their lives bring them together, Jet and Kai spend the summer regretting that one moment when they made the wrong decision. But there’s something about friendship that heals all wounds and, together, Jet and Kai find the one thing they never thought they’d have again—hope.

Heart of a Shepherd

Rosanne Parry, acclaimed author of A Wolf Called Wander and Heart of a Shepherd, shines a light on Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest in the 1920s, a time of critical cultural upheaval.

Pearl has always dreamed of hunting whales, just like her father. Of taking to the sea in their eight-man canoe, standing at the prow with a harpoon, and waiting for a whale to lift its barnacle-speckled head as it offers its life for the life of the tribe. But now that can never be. Pearl's father was lost on the last hunt, and the whales hide from the great steam-powered ships carrying harpoon cannons, which harvest not one but dozens of whales from the ocean. With the whales gone, Pearl's people, the Makah, struggle to survive as Pearl searches for ways to preserve their stories and skills.
