Eye of the Wolf

111 pp. | Candlewick | February, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-1896-9 $$15.99
(4) 4-6 Translated by Sarah Adams. Illustrated by Max Grafe. A boy stands before the wolf's enclosure at the zoo: when the wolf meets his gaze, the two trade life stories. The wolf was captured in Alaska, lost an eye, and withdrew; the boy bounced from home to home in Africa but kept telling stories and making connections. The tone (and the cloudy, dreamlike black-and-white drawings) is at once mystical and frank; after a slow start, the story is engaging.
