INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Knight, Richard

Winter Shadow

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Richard Johnson. Maria, who lives with her grandfather in a remote village, finds an abandoned wolf pup nearly frozen in the snow. She brings the animal home and names him Shadow. Encounters with a fur trader and a mysterious woman deepen Maria's relationship with her pet. Knight's lyrical text is ably supported by Johnson's varied acrylics, some of which wrap cozily around the pages.
