Ivan is one of the thousands of abandoned children living on the streets of Moscow in the mid-1990s when he is adopted by a pack of feral dogs who protect him from gangs and the harsh winter. Well-crafted sentences, lively dialogue, and a remarkable plot line (based on a true story) combine for an absorbing adventure tale that young readers will find irresistible.
