Swift, a young wolf cub, lives with his pack in the mountains learning to hunt, competing with his brothers and sisters for hierarchy, and watching over a new litter of cubs. Then a rival pack attacks, and Swift and his family scatter.

Alone and scared, Swift must flee and find a new home. His journey takes him a remarkable one thousand miles across the Pacific Northwest. The trip is full of peril, and Swift encounters forest fires, hunters, highways, and hunger before he finds his new home.

absolutely love this book

Love story love the narrator the whole book was just beautiful give it five stars highly recommend to listen to this book

Excellent! A Must-Read For Nature Lovers.

This tale is told by Wander, beginning from the time he's a newborn in the den, competing with sibling pups for mother's milk. As he grows larger and stronger, the pack encounters obstacles.

Based on studies of an actual tracked wolf, this is an account of his travels and the challenges he faces along the way. Wildlife lovers, especially those with an affinity for wolves, will find it mesmerizing.

I strongly recommend you listen to all the extra information about the real wolf, OR-7, and the author's notes in their entirety. Fascinating facts and interesting observations are contained there.

One final note: Narrator Kirby Heyborne is amazing! One of the best I've heard, and that's saying a lot. Kudos to a great talent on a superb performance!

Great Adventure

My 10 year old son and I loved the story of Wander. We learned a lot about wolves and their habitat.

Great for the whole family

A weird start, but enjoyed it after that. Learned a lot about wolves and recommend it for the whole family. Loved the end.
