Wolf Club

Three unlikely middle-schoolers — Okan (a raccoon), Sarah (a skunk), and Marcus (a moose) — each facing their own personal struggles, find themselves thrown together when they discover a sighting of a rare white wolf in the forest near their town. Spurred by spiritual visions, the trio ditch their detention and embark on a quest into the woods. As they pursue the wolf, they each must confront fears, grapple with identity and belonging, and learn the power of friendship in unexpected form.

“The book’s mixture of humor, heart, sad realities, and satisfying outcomes delivers a remarkably readable mystical adventure.” — Booklist

“Ojibwe author Bird infuses fantasy elements into an engrossing adventure novel … Okan’s sincere first-person narration presents observations with endearing frankness … one swiftly moving chapter and increasingly perilous scenario at a time.” — Publishers Weekly
