A journey home across a changing landscape

Set in late-1800s Canada, the novel links the displacement of the Anishnaabe Nation with the upheaval facing wolf packs on the same territory. Red Wolf, a boy forced to attend a distant residential school, and Crooked Ear, an orphaned timber wolf, are separated before setting out on a dangerous journey home. Their story brings together human and animal perspectives while foregrounding land, separation, survival, and the consequences of colonial policies.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in historical fiction set in Canada.
  • Readers seeking fiction about Indigenous experience, residential schools, and displacement.
  • Readers interested in stories that connect human lives with animals and the natural world.

Book overview

Life is changing for Canada's Anishnaabe Nation and for the wolf packs that share their territory.

In the late 1800s, both Native people and wolves are being forced from the land. Starving and lonely, an orphaned timber wolf is befriended by a boy named Red Wolf. But under the Indian Act, Red Wolf is forced to attend a residential school far from the life he knows, and the wolf is alone once more. Courage, love and fate reunite the pair, and they embark on a perilous journey home. But with winter closing in, will Red Wolf and Crooked Ear survive? And if they do, what will they find?
