  • 本書介紹
【橫跨加拿大西南與美洲西北部的自然野性之旅】
Swift是一隻小狼，他每天和狼群一起住在山裡學習打獵，有時與兄弟姐妹打架爭奪地位，有時幫忙照看新生的幼狼，過著再普通不過的狼群生活。然而在一次敵對狼群的攻擊下，Swift被迫和家人分離，不得不開始他穿越太平洋西北部的千里旅程。
一路上危險四伏，不僅遇上森林大火，還必須小心獵人、高速公路和無時不在的飢餓。究竟他能不能找到安全地，建立屬於自己的家？
 
啟發於加州1947年第一隻被確認的野狼OR-7（又稱Journey）的真實流浪事蹟，Rosanne Parry塑造出同樣機警且充滿好奇心的小狼Swift，濃縮大量生態資料及深入淺出的狼群動物知識，讓讀者跟著Swift踏上相似卻更豐富刺激的遠行，透過最貼近自然的動物視角，一同學習最真實的生命教育。

A New York Times bestseller! “Don’t miss this dazzling tour de force.”—Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal winning author of The One and Only Ivan
 
This gripping novel about survival and family is based on the real story of one wolf’s incredible journey to find a safe place to call home. Illustrated throughout, this irresistible tale by award-winning author Rosanne Parry is for fans of Sara Pennypacker’s Pax and Katherine Applegate’s The One and Only Ivan.

Swift, a young wolf cub, lives with his pack in the mountains learning to hunt, competing with his brothers and sisters for hierarchy, and watching over a new litter of cubs. Then a rival pack attacks, and Swift and his family scatter.
Alone and scared, Swift must flee and find a new home. His journey takes him a remarkable one thousand miles across the Pacific Northwest. The trip is full of peril, and Swift encounters forest fires, hunters, highways, and hunger before he finds his new home.
Inspired by the extraordinary true story of a wolf named OR-7 (or Journey), this irresistible tale of survival invites readers to experience and imagine what it would be like to be one of the most misunderstood animals on earth. 
Includes black-and-white illustrations throughout and a map as well as information about the real wolf who inspired the novel.
