More About This Book

Overview

Bestselling author Kathryn Lasky's Wolves of the Beyond, the stunning new spinoff from the legendary Guardians of Ga'hoole, is now in paperback!

A wolf mother has given birth, but the warm bundle snuffling next to her brings only anguish. The pup, otherwise healthy, has a twisted paw, and the mother knows what the harsh code of the pack demands. Her pup will be taken from her and abandoned on a desolate hill. The pack cannot have weakness - the wolf mother knows that her pup is condemned to die.

But alone in the wilderness, the pup, Faolan, does not perish. This his story - a story of survival, of courage, and of love triumphant. This is Faolan's story, the wolf pup who rose up to change forevever the Wolves of the Beyond.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
In the wilderness, where survival depends on being the strongest and the smartest, the wolf pack cannot leave anything to chance. Any wolf pup born with abnormalities is immediately taken from its mother and left to die among the elements. This job is left to the Obea, a barren female wolf. This tale begins when the Obea takes a healthy pup with a splayed front paw bearing a spiral imprint and leaves it to die on an icy riverbank. The pup survives and is adopted by a bear mother who recently lost her cub. She names him Faolan. Faolon grows up strong and healthy. When he eventually meets up with the pack, the encounter will forever change the ways of the Wolves of the Beyond. In this new series, Kathryn Lasky builds on her revered "Guardians of Ga'Hoole" series. Though this story begins slowly, the tension steadily builds and readers will find themselves captivated midway through as they question how one wolf can survive without the pack to protect it. Even those who typically shy away from animal stories will be drawn in to the adventure, and many will forget that the story is about a wolf as Faolon's journey captivates. Book One of the "Wolves of Beyond" series. Reviewer: Jeanna Sciarrotta
School Library Journal
Gr 4–7—A wolf pup is left to die by his pack because his malformed foot is considered bad luck. A grizzly bear, Thunderheart, whose cubs have been killed, rescues Faolan and nurtures him until her accidental death. As the young wolf continues on alone, he discovers "the Cave Before Time" with wall paintings portraying the history of the wolves and realizes that he must return to his own kind and learn their ways. This anthropomorphic fantasy has a number of the traditional characters found in these tales, such as the young outcast Faolan; the wise and solitary Gwynneth, the owl; and the powerfully maternal Thunderheart. The relationship between the wolf and the bear is particularly touching as they develop a strong and loving bond. After her death, the story meanders a bit as Faolan deciphers the message in the cave. As it ends, enough questions remain about his future to leave room for a sequel. Those who enjoy this genre will probably be intrigued enough by this young wolf to tag along on his journey.—Carol Schene, formerly at Taunton Public Schools, MA

Kirkus Reviews
Lasky spins off her popular Guardians of Ga'Hoole series into this enchanting first installment of a new series starring wolves, introducing a wolf pup raised by a grizzly bear. The pack casts Faolan, born with a defect in one paw, out to die, but a brokenhearted bear that has just lost her own cub finds him and can't resist nursing him. Lasky merges anthropomorphic fantasy with realistic details about wolves and bears to produce an almost plausible emotional narrative, complete with dialogue and personalities. Thunderheart, Faolan's "milk mother," teaches him to dig and to hunt and explains the bear aspects of the spirit world. Eventually Faolan begins a journey taking him to a cave where he learns the history of the wolves, to a metal-working owl and finally to the wolf clan he will join, although not, perhaps, in the manner those wolves expect. The author builds a captivating world of forest, snow and volcanoes populated by intelligent animals and weaves a compelling story sure to bring readers back for the second installment. (Fantasy. 8-12)

    Great book, looking forward to the next one!

    I absolutely loved this book from the start i opened it! I do have to say that i think reading kathryns first series, Guardians of Ga'Hoole will help you understadn the book better. It mentions a little about the Gaurdians of Ga'hoole and reading those might help explain things when your confused. I didnt read her first series and found it a tad confusing, but i kinda figured it out on my own. I would recamend this book, it is a good read and you wont want to put the book down once you start! I do have to say that i think the age group should be raised up to about ages 10 - 14 or 15. SOme of the language might be hard for an 8 year old.

    Good Read for Wolf Lovers

    I've got to say there aren't enough books about wolves out there. That alone made me buy this book. It was also by an author I'd read before, and it has gorgeous cover art. The story was interesting, and very enjoyable to read. Some things I found a little strange or confusing. I won't say what because that would give things away. But if you look past the oddness/confusion in some parts, it really is a good story and I cannot wait for the second book!

    Highly Recommend

    This book is about a baby wolf born with a deformity, so was rejected by the wolves in his pack. It tells of his life adventures living with a mother bear and learning about the other animals of the forest. I think this is a good book about overcoming obstacles in life and growing up. I recommend it to all ages for a feel good light hearted read.

    Vj

    Please please please can any of you do me a favor? I need somebody to go to Frost Wolf (the 5th book about Faolan) and say that people can't claim any of Kathryn Lasky's books as territory. Sign a name of one of the characters you rollplay. It may not seem like a favor worth doing, but trust me, it is. The first one who does it go to REWARD 9th result and I'll tell you something. Only the 1st one who posted there. And if you're wondering why I don't simply go over there and do it myself, it won't let me post (and it's not on pre-order anymore).~Amethyst the wolf

    SO GOOD ¿¿!!

    Wolves are awesome! this book is very adventurous. I have the first three books of this series in paper form. Highly reccomended to ages 9-12. If you love wolves, grizzlies, and adventure then this is the right book for you. It is about a wolf named Faolan who is a malcadh, or " cursed" wolf because he had a splayed paw. The clans cant have any imperfect wolves, so he is left to drown, but thunderheart the grizzly fpund hin and takes care if him. Will Faolan ever make it back to the packs? If he does, will he be treated as a gnaw wolf forever?
