"A Taste of Smoke" by Marion Dane Bauer is a pretty good book. It's about an adventurous thirteen year old girl named Caitlin. She is looking forward to a camping trip with her sister. First, a guy named Alex, shows up at their campsite, and she knows Pam planned it. Caitlin decides to take a bike ride on the path, and on the way back, she meets this boy, who appeared out of no where. His name is Frank, and he helps Caitlin back to her campsite. The weird part is that no one but Caitlin can see or hear Frank. If you like adventure, I reccomend this book to you!

I thought this book was some what sad, I don't want to give away the ending but this book is about two boys whose parents get divorced, while being sad they discover a pregnant cat. They keep it a secret for as long as they can, but eventuly they have to tell. If you like cats, you can read it even if you don't it will make your eyes water.

This book is about a boy named Brad and his younger brother Charlie. His mom and dad are separated. When Brad and Charlie fnd a stray cat in their shed it has kittens. They have to be responsible enough to keep the kitten alive. Tuexedo hte black and white kitten is found dead and they blame Cat. So they have to deciced to tell their dad about the cats and trust them, or not?

Being stuck with a name like Runt is not exactly something anyone would be proud of, esp a young wolf. Runt has much to learn and makes many mistakes. You feel bad for the little guy, but I felt the book lacked details that could have enhanced it. I'm sure there are better animal stories out there.

Pack mentality is key in the life of a wolf. Position within a pack defines who a wolf is. Runt, the smallest of his litter is given no other name by his father the pack alpha. He is treated as the lowest member because he is unable to prove himself due to his small size. This bothers Runt as he seeks to win his father's approval.
In addition to his own struggles Runt becomes caught within pack politics. There is some unrest within the pack because one member wishes to become the new leader. This story describes how one young wolf fills his role within the pack and struggles to understand humans and the world around him.
This is a well written book that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in wolves.
