Book Review - Wolf Shadows by Mary Casanova

The book I am reviewing is Wolf Shadows, written by Mary Casanova. This non-fiction story takes place in the Minnesota woods. The story talks about wolves and their natural territory. I would suggest this story to anyone who enjoys wildlife, and suspense. From beginning to end, this book is very exciting and moving. The story begins with two kids named Matt and Seth. Matt enjoys hunting and lives on a farm with his mother, father and baby sister. Seth is Matt's best friend and lives with his family in the town. The two boys spend their time farming, and when the day's work is done, they go hunting for deer. Mary Casanova writes using a third person, omniscient author style. She frequently uses words like he, she and they when telling the story. Mary Casanova uses metaphors and personification to make the story fascinating. Her simplistic approach, and realistic dialogue, helps the reader understand the story and keep interest.I loved this book! This story was very enticing. I enjoy reading about animals and their habitat. Being that this story was based on how wolves survive, it was able to capture my interest right from the start. I would suggest this book to anyone who enjoys wildlife and nature. The exceptional storyline teaches people how to survive in the woods with wolves, and how a strong friendship can overcome any obstacle.

Another great book

This book will grip you--weither you like wolves or not. For those who hate wolves, you might pick Matt's side and for those who love em, seth's.This book is mainly short and can be read in a single sitting. Of course, after it is done you will re-read. This book is just awesome! It teaches you to make desisions from what is right and wrong and much more then that...A must read! Just pick it up at the library or just buy it yourself!

Adam's opinion about Wolf Shadows

Wolf Shadows taught me that friendship is very fragile and no matter how close you are it can still break. Wolf Shadows is a good book about friendship and adveture. I really loved Wolf Shadows.

AN ACCESSIBLE ADVENTURE STORY WITH A MESSAGE!

In this highly involving sequel to MOOSE TRACKS, Casanova tackles the issue of wolf-human cohabitation. Seth, age 12, and his best friend Matt, age 13, are the focus characters in this readable middle grade novel. The boys are integrally involved in a conflict over the wolves Matt's family wants to hunt and Seth's Game Warden father is charged to protect. Seth's family value system makes him serious about protection of animal rights, even when it means putting his best friend's physical well being on the line. Perfect for discussion and for reluctant readers hungry for an adventure story with a message.
