About Wolf Club: The Breakfast Club meets Hatchet in this middle-grade novel about three kids who ditch detention to search for an elusive white wolf, who may have the magical powers they need to face their challenges and heal their hearts.
What do a raccoon, a skunk, and a moose have in common?
Okan, the raccoon, is a 13 year old whose mom works so hard he never sees her.
Sara, the skunk, has been teased relentlessly about her body odor ever since her mom died.
And Marcus, the moose, is the bully, the rich kid who seems to have everything, except his parents’ love.
When they hear a white wolf has been spotted in the nearby forest, this unlikely trio heads out on a quest that turns into an adventure of a lifetime.
