Fans of <em>Red: A Crayon's Story</em> and <em>Wolfie the Bunny</em> will cheer for Maple to find exactly where she belongs.</strong></p> <p>Maple the husky is a valued member of the team, but strangers always seem to think she's a wolf! It's true: Maple can hunt, she can howl, and she can dig, just like wolves can. Oh, no! What if she is a wolf and doesn't belong with her family after all?</p> <p>A perfectly paced tale of family, self-acceptance, and belonging, <em>Lone Wolf</em> strikes the balance between heartwarming and hilarious. This irrepressible and sensitive dog's identity crisis and spirited journey of self-discovery will capture readers' hearts, whether or not they have a pet themselves.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Maple decides to explore on her own and find out once and for all if she is with the correct pack. . . .
