Official synopsis Publisher
As far back as Callum can really remember, he’s been living in the Wild as the furless mascot of a wolf pack. But when his pack sends him back to live with his own kind�humans�fitting in is quite a challenge. He doesn’t remember English very well, so he accidentally says his name is “Clam.” He’s spent most of his life eating fresh-killed elk, so dining with vegetarians is tricky. And when he tries to impress the Alpha student in the school cafeteria by stealing food, people seem offended!
A mix of wildness and humor, Timothy Power’s inventive writing makes him a debut author to watch. And Callum’s quest to find his place in a strange world will have readers rooting for him�when they’re not howling with laughter.
