About This Book
A young boy named Carl is snatched from a hot plains estate by a gray wolf and carried into the jungle, where the story follows his time in a wolf lair, the pack's habits, and the frantic search mounted by his relatives and local hunters. Episodes range from tense night chases and clever evasions through koonds and hills to visits to native strongholds, traps and rescues, and the delicate process of restoring the boy to human society. The narrative balances adventure with close observation of animal behavior and themes of loyalty, protection, and cross-species tenderness.
