I loved 'WOLF at the DOOR'!!!!!

Lee McDougall, a 13 year old, has been moved from place to place all of her life, and none of them were as good and bad as wen she moved to Bigfork, Missouri. Her mother and her pick up a poorly treated wolf which they name Ruthie. Soon, their pack grows, and she has a family of 5 wolves. She realizes she is putting her family at risk, and she knows her 12 year old talented sister, is terrified! When danger strikes the wolves, however, her sister helps to save the wolves. This is a great book, I am 10 years old, and loved it so much, I tried to limit myself to reading ONLY 6 paragraphs a day! You must read this for your self!
