Rage Is a Wolf

De: Kt Mather

Narrado por: Kt Mather

Sixteen-year-old Elaine Archer thinks the Earth might really be screwed. And she’s pretty sure sitting in a classroom memorizing Civil War battle dates isn’t gonna save it.

Desperate to do something meaningful, but not sure it will do any good, Elaine talks her moms into letting her drop out of school to write a novel. Spending her days circling Chicago in search of her story, she discovers a universe of people and ideas she’d never have encountered behind the doors of D.B. High. As her understanding of the complexity of the world and relationships deepens, so does her fear that she might not have what it takes to make any difference at all.

Rage Is a Wolf is the biting, hilarious story of a teenage girl trying to answer life’s questions. Is not telling your best friend something the same as lying to her? Can you have a crush on more than one person? Why is the movie Aliens so perfect? What’s the point of sex? What’s the point of life? Can one person change the world? Can a story? Can love?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"I devoured this brilliant contemporary novel in every spare minute. In its pages, Elaine Archer comes vividly to life, authentic, real, and deeply moving. I love this book. KT Mather blew my mind." (Nancy Werlin, National Book Award Finalist)

"Asks us to reimagine the very premise of the prototypical 'strong female lead.'" (Los Angeles Review of Books)

"Inspiring and enlightening." (Small Press Picks)

Come for the story, stay for the narration!

The storyline of Rage is a Wolf is an intricate and beautiful weave of different stories. Elaine and her moms are the student and parents every teacher dreams of (at least for THIS teacher)...even if a traditional school isn't where Elaine is going find her way. I'd first read Rage is a Wolf when it was released. When I saw that an Audible version narrated by the author was available I added it to my cart without a second thought. The author's narration was fantastic and really created the voice of Elaine in my mind. This book does a nice job of both pointing out some of the things we SHOULD have rage about while also proving that by taking action each of us either helps or hurts the world we live in.

Refreshing and thought provoking coming of age tale

I didn’t know what to expect from the title, but the story made me feel every emotion, including (lots of) rage. This listen felt like a break from my usual patterns of thinking and from my routine. Highly recommend!
