FROM THE
BOOK
JACKET:
"I was
losing it
and losing it fast--seeing
too much of what wasn't there, or what was better left unseen. In the
trees
to the southeast, the dogwolf howled. I
shivered,
knowing what
it wanted--knowing just as surely as I'd known when it howled in the
heartbeat
before the wind roared out of the trees on the night I'd seen the
willow
glowing with flame and watched the lightning strike the ridge and
rebound
in a ball of fire. The dogwolf wanted me to set
it
loose or to
put a bullet through its brain."
In this
stark and stunning
coming-of-age
novel, set in the fire-ravaged forests of northern
Wisconsin,
award-winning
author Alden R. Carter explores a boy's
struggle with
his identity
and the warring forces within and outside him. Part adventure story,
part
psychological thriller, Dogwolf is a
riveting young-adult
novel by a
gifted writer.
Point Signature
paperback, $4.50.
