Synopsis

A Tale of Magic and Thanksgiving
When a mirror appears in Jala's room and transports her to the world of wolves -- the fact that she's become a wolf herself is only the beginning! Readers of classic fantasy like The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Alice in Wonderland will adore this chapter book for young readers. Set during American Thanksgiving, the main character must use the gifts and advantages she has from living in a world of plenty to help others who are not as fortunate. The less fortunate creatures are wolves, but the lesson translates well, particularly wrapped in such a delightful little adventure. Buy a copy to share with the young people in your life.
 
What Readers Are Saying:
 
"A lovely and whimsical read for any little girl or grown woman like myself."
"Dumas taps into a fantasy that I believe many children probably have (sometimes pretending that they're an animal, or in Jala's case, becoming that animal) and what they can learn from that fantasy. Jala learns more about herself, her family, and her world through her adventure as a wolf and that translates to an added layer of discussion that you could have with your child while reading this book. This would make a lovely addition to any child's ebook library."
"Jala and the Wolves...reads like a Hindu fairytale with its quaint nature-filled charm and elegant magic. It reminds me of the books I read as a child - The Secret Garden and the like - and that makes it something I want to share with my daughter."
