This book makes an excellent addition to the Voices of the Wilderness series. Although, in the audiobook format it is sad that readers miss the wonderful illustrations that grace the pages of these books, the audiobook is well done. The narrator is engaging and brings the story to life very well! I'd recommend young readers pair the physical book and the audiobook for an optimum reading experience.

My boys and I read A Wolf Called Wander, and I was able to make connections between Swift and Warm. This is similar, in that Warm also gets separated from his pack and goes on a journey. However, as it is based on another true story, in this follow up, he chooses to lead as a respectful member of the pack who allows all members to have a voice. He doesn't bully or shun.

The special attributes that the wolves cultivate allow readers to learn important lessons about belonging to a team and leading by example. I was very excited to see this version on audiobook so my boys and I could listen in the car.

Following a wolf from puppyhood onward as he and his pack face insurmountable odds, A Wolf Called Fire is an excellent middle-grade novel. Kids will be so excited about this book, much like her prior books. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and feel for these lovely creatures. It is also very timely with the wildfires.

There is a strong conservation message within this title and kids are even given ways to help.

This is a great addition to libraries that are equipped to lend audiobooks. It is difficult in my elementary school because of availability of devices. I would recommend the book to all ages though!

Thank you to Net Galley, Harper AudioChildren's Books, and Greenwillow Books for the DLC! All opinions are my own.
