Silverfeet, a young timber wolf, grows from a pup into a full-grown animal, enduring the harsh winters, attacks from predators, a forest fire, and encounters with humans. Original. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I thought that this book was excellent reading material. The only thing that I did not appreciate was that there was hardley any action. Then i thought it was pretty bad when two of the four pups died. Anyways the main character of the story is a wolf named Silverfeet who is not to sure about the world he is living in, until the end when he finally finds his right place with a pack of wolves.

Mr. Lawrence has written an absolutely great book about an alaskan timber wolf named silverfeet. Silverfeet begins his life roughly, two of his brothers and sisters die as pups. Later on in life he gets caught in a hunter's trap and is seperated from his remaining sister. This hunter, Morgan, is mean and tortures Silverfeet. Finally, one day Silverfeet, in an agonizing fight for survival in the sickining living conditions, breaks free from his pen while Morgan is trying to get him in a truck to take him to the zoo.Silverfeet defends himself by killing Morgan and escaping. Soon he finds himself being hunted by the authorities. Silverfeet narrowly escapes and travles a long distance trying to get home to his pack. He never finds his true home again, but he joins another pack and lives to rank so high that he takes over as pack leader. The overall story is great. While you read it you seem to become part of Silverfeet, through everything.
A wonderful look into the life of a timber wolf.
