After a devastating forest fire, a ranger discovers a litter of wolf cubs. He and his wife soon learn that they are no ordinary wolves. They are both animal and human. Although the young ones try to fit into the human world, their true nature makes the challenges of being teenagers all the more difficult. Bram Stoker and Aurora Award-winner Edo van Belkom is the author of over 200 stories of horror, science fiction, fantasy, and mystery. As an editor, he has four anthologies to his credit that include two books for young adults, Be Afraid! (A Canadian Library Association Young Adult Book of the Year finalist) and Be Very Afraid! (An Aurora Award winner — Best Work in English). Born in Toronto, van Belkom graduated from York University, then worked as a daily newspaper sports and police reporter before becoming a full-time writer. Edo van Belkom lives in Brampton, Ontario, with his wife Roberta and son Luke. Grade 5-8–While the cover art is a turnoff, this is a well-plotted story for readers not ready for Annette Curtis Klause's Blood and Chocolate (Dell, 1997). Forest ranger Garrett Brock finds four wolf cubs in the British Columbia wilderness and takes them home. When his wife checks on them in the middle of the night, she sees four human babies. These cubs can change themselves from human to wolf to werewolf. The Brocks raise them as their own, and the story picks up 15 years later, when the four are experiencing typical teen angst, with an added twist. One afternoon, they transform in the woods without realizing that a famous geneticist is taping them. Dr. Monk, a rather cardboard evil character with two assistants, traps Tora and makes plans to take her to a zoo for testing. The doctor is interested only in the wealth and fame this discovery will bring him. When he overcomes Brock's obstacles and gets all the necessary clearances he needs, Tora's brothers step in, with the help of one human peer whom they trust. They devise an ingenious plan that frees her and destroys the tapes, without taking any lives. The plot moves quickly enough to hold interest and may appeal to reluctant readers.–Laurie von Mehren, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brecksville, OH Horror writer van Belkom (Blood Road) turns his attention to kidlit with Wolf Pack a few years back, and as with his adult novels, he starts with an unusual spin on a classic horror premise; in this case, werewolves. As the book opens, a forest ranger finds four wolf cubs in a forest fire, and is shocked to discover that the cubs are actually werewolf babies. Fast-forward to fifteen years later, and the ranger, Garrett Brock, has adopted the four and attempted to socialize them while keeping their secret. All is going relatively well until a researcher, studying something completely different, accidentally captures the kids changing on camera. The researcher, Dr. Monk, kidnaps Toda, one of the kids, and the rest of them, along with Brock and Toda's aspiring boyfriend, have to get her back. Van Belkom's kidlit has more in common with his adult novels than his usual take on premises; his shortcomings have transferred over as well, including two-dimensional characters and an almost complete lack of complexity in plot (though this latter problem is amply provided for by making the book much shorter than his adult novels; this clocks in at one hundred eighty-four pages of unusually large print). Still, if you're looking for a quick, simple read, this is a capable beginning to the series. *** This story is about a group of wolves who were rescued by a ranger and raised by the ranger and his wife as human children. This story targets that difficult to find 'tween category, whereas it is not quite created for children, nor is it created for the YA crowd. However, this book is the first in a series that has definite promise to grow with the children from the first stages of 'tween literature into solid Young Adult literature. It is exciting, energetic, and sweet at the same time. It reminds children that there is no greater love in the world than the love of family (no matter the form that family takes). It will most certainly be interesting to see how Van Belkom matures the characters with the upcoming novels. Highly recommended for that difficult stage between children's literature and YA. **Thanks to Tundra Books for a copy of this great story to review** This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.

These are no ordinary wolf cubs; they can morph and change into werewolves, having both wolf and human qualities. Garrett and his wife adopt the children and raise them as ordinary kids. Fast forward fifteen years later and the kids trying to survive at school with their special abilities.
