Illustrated by
Brian Floca.
Aging wolf Nashoba struggles to find fresh game for his pack; thirteen-year-old Casey, who plays a video game incessantly, receives a bow and arrow set. These two stories come in direct contact. Avi switches perspective between Nashoba and Casey, building the tension and raising a multitude of questions in this thought-provoking allegory. Naturalistic pencil illustrations enhance the classic-feeling tale.
