‘Unfortunately that’s not how most folks see it,’ Wendy says.
I know she’s right, but it’s another thing I’ll never understand: how humans think they’re the only animal that matters.
In a nutshell
Two dirty children dressed in rags are discovered ransacking the convenience store in a small town. With mannerisms like wolves, they insist they were raised by a pack of wolves in the neighbouring forests. With no parents to be found and a history that cannot be traced, the police chief sets about trying to uncover where they came from and if they can be taught to live amongst humans.
Book Club Notes
The thing about a James Patterson novel is that you know you will be hooked and entertained within the first chapter. He’s the master of entertaining and thrilling easy reads that are best devoured in one weekend. Raised by Wolves, which is largely told through the eyes of Kai, a teenage girl, feels geared to a younger audience than most of his other novels – yet has a maturity that doesn’t make it feel like YA. And like a classic James Patterson novel you’ll find yourself flying through the pages to see what happens next.
