Description
Fifteen-year-old foster child Josh Redford's only friend in the world was an old Algonquin trapper who taught him the secrets of the wilderness. When the trapper dies, Josh runs away to a remote area of the rugged Laurentian Mountains, where he soon discovers that the trapper's tales of animal spirits are true, and that not all of them are friendly. Caught in an ancient war between good and evil, Josh's escape from grief quickly becomes a harrowing struggle to survive. Desperate and alone, he soon discovers the one secret the trapper never revealed.
Valley of the Wolves is a four-book series full of action and adventure that is rooted in Algonquin mythology. It is also the story of how colonialism nearly destroyed a beautiful people and their culture.

Ellen B, Reviewer
This book is contagious! I started reading the book slowly because I love history, especially about Native Americans and their cultural beliefs. I did not know much about the Algonquin people, and I learned more than in any history class. The author brilliantly weaves the cultural beliefs with a natural setting while making the reader feel they are with the main character escaping his civility. The vivid descriptions of the spirit animals (Manitous) and their protective nature are attractive to any reader who understands the Native American belief of Manitous. Anyone who reads this book will gain knowledge of the cultural beliefs of a remarkable native tribe and a spine-tingling adventure story of a young boy trying to find his way through life.
