Synopsis
A real-life story of adaptation and survival.
Acclaimed science writer Sandra Markle and celebrated artist Alan Marks team up for the fifth time in this fascinating real-life story of a wolf and her pack.
Years ago, an effort had been made to eliminate wolves from Yellowstone National Park. Recently, conservationists decided to reintroduce the animal to the area, relocating wolves from Canada. Family Pack introduces readers to Female 7 and Male 2, the founders of the Leopold wolf pack—the first naturally formed pack after the relocation effort.
Readers follow Female 7 as she sets out on her own upon her release to the 2.2-million-acre area that is Yellowstone. Without the comfort of her mother or other wolves, the young female grows and learns to feed, hunt, and survive in her new home. Eventually, she crosses paths with Male 2, and the wolves form a family of their own.
Back matter includes more information about wolves, a bibliography, and an author’s note about the Leopold pack and the importance of reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone, restoring the natural balance.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Snowflakes fall icy bright from the storm-gray sky, while a young female wolf travels through a land where everything is new.
She grew up far away in Canada.
Then, along with her mother, she was trapped by humans and taken from the wolf pack that was her family to this place—to Yellowstone.
First she was penned up with her mother and a male wolf, a stranger.
Her mother accepted him. She didn’t.
So when the pen was opened, the young female ran away alone.
Now she roams, like a castaway, in a land that is pure unknown.
