Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal winner and author of The One and Only Ivan, called A Wolf Called Wander a "dazzling tour de force." A Whale of the Wild was praised as a "spellbinding, heart-stopping adventure" in a Booklist starred review.

A Wolf Called Wander is inspired by the true story of a remarkable wolf named OR-7. The novel follows Swift, a young wolf cub, who is separated from his family when a rival pack attacks. Alone and scared, Swift must flee and find a new home. His perilous journey takes him one thousand miles across the Pacific Northwest.

A Whale of the Wild is inspired by the Orca pods of Puget Sound and stars Vega, a young whale preparing for the day when she will be her family's matriarch. But after a devastating earthquake and tsunami, the seascape is unrecognizable, and Vega and her brother lose their way. She must use every skill she has learned to lead her brother back to their pod.

Both books feature beautiful illustrations throughout as well as educational and accessible back matter that provides additional facts about the animals and habitats in the stories, as well as a map.
