<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A wolf and bird must fight the Starving Time and find food, while a human boy learns to hunt"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Hunting--the predator and its prey--is at the heart of this riveting and suspenseful novel from Newbery Medalist Avi with illustrations from Caldecott Medalist Brian Floca.</b> <p/>In the computer game world of Bow Hunter--thirteen-year-old Casey's world--there are no deaths, just kills. In Nashoba's world--the wolf world--there have been no kills. For this is March, the Starving Time in the Iron Mountain region of Colorado, when wolves and ravens alike are desperate for food. <p/>With the help of a raven, the miraculous Merla, Nashoba must lead his pack of eight to their next meal. The wolf hates being dependent on a mere bird, but Merla is a bird wise beyond her years. <p/>When Casey's path crosses Nashoba's, the worlds of two very different hunters collide.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Avi is the author of more than seventy books for children and young adults, including the 2003 Newbery medal winner <i>Crispin: The Cross of Lead</i>.
