Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8–In this sequel to Wolf Pack (Tundra, 2004), teen werewolves, adopted as young pups by Ranger Brock and his wife after their parents were killed in a forest fire, are each trying to deal with a specific challenge. While Argus longs for adventure outside the family pack, Harlan tries to avoid confrontation with the school bully, and Noble settles into his position as pack leader. Tora, the only girl, wants to get the lead in the school play. Their lives change focus when a corrupt logging company executive tries to gain rights to fell trees close to the town of Redstone. Noble comes up with an elaborate plan to scare off the intruders, leading them to believe that the forest is haunted. Argus discovers that other werewolves inhabit the land and is torn between joining their group or remaining with his siblings. While there are some references to the first book, this volume can stand alone. Readers expecting to find werewolf lore will be disappointed since the story is more an environmental tale than a horror one. The cover art is unappealing, but those who are willing to look past it will find an enjoyable tale.–Michele Capozzella, Chappaqua Public Library, NY

Book Description
Noble, Harlan, Argus, and their sister, Tora, are werewolves. When Ranger Brock found them in the forest after a fire, he thought they were human babies. Even when he and his wife realized that the infants were part wolf, they were determined to raise them as normal children.
In Lone Wolf, a sequel to Wolf Pack, the quartet, now in their teens, face the same challenges as everyone else their age: Tora wants desperately to be chosen for the school play. Harlan, who
is smaller than his siblings, is the victim of a bully, and Argus wants to help his little brother but knows it would humiliate him. Daily problems are pushed aside when the foursome must unite against a common enemy; an unscrupulous logging company is planning to clear-cut the woods in which they run freely – and secretly – as wolves.
By turns funny and frightening, Lone Wolf is an irresistible adventure story.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Slips a bit in book two., July 28 2009
By Robert P. Beveridge "xterminal" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lone Wolf (Paperback)
Edo van Belkom, Lone Wolf (Tundra, 2005)Second book in the series continues the story of the Brock werewolf kids, four fifteen-year-olds being raised by a sympathetic forest ranger in the wilds of British Columbia. This one tries for the same action-heavy feel as the first, but adds heavy-handed environmentalism into the mix that slows things down a great deal. One would also hope for deepening of the characters, as often happens in second books in series, but with the exception of a couple of the main characters, that doesn't happen. In fact, coming this early in the series, it almost looks as if the series was started just for van Belkom to air ecological concerns; I'll hold off on judgment on that until I've read the next two books (believe me, if I knew it for certain there would be a lot fewer stars at the end of this), but very disappointing compared to the first book. **
