About This Book

A young raccoon named Washer tumbles over a dangerous waterfall and is carried into a wolf den, where a mother wolf and her cubs rescue and adopt him. Growing up among wolves, he faces tests of identity and loyalty as rival wolves and strangers challenge the pack, and he proves his courage by aiding both wolf companions and other raccoons. Encounters with a defiant black wolf, a journey to a birch grove, and final reunions with his birth family trace a coming-of-age arc that explores belonging, resourcefulness, and bonds formed across species.
