Clara and the Snowline: A Wolverine's Tale of Life in Glacier National Park

One wolverine. One snowline. One unforgettable story.

Born beneath deep winter snow at the edge of the tree line in Glacier National Park, wolverine kit Clara enters a world of relentless cold, scarce food, and constant danger. She will face wolves, golden eagles, and grizzlies. She will lose her brother to a glacial crevasse and learn to survive alone in one of North America's most breathtaking and unforgiving wilderness areas.

But Clara is a wolverine. Fierce, fearless, and built for exactly this.

Based on six years of real field research by wildlife biologist Rick Yates, Clara and the Snowline follows one wolverine through every season of high-country life, from her first glimpse of daylight to a territory of her own. Grounded in science and rich with authentic detail, this is narrative natural history at its most immersive: honest about the brutality of wild survival, and generous with its wonder.

Featuring pencil illustrations by Molly Leach, Clara and the Snowline is for readers ages 8–12 and the adults who read alongside them. Perfect for fans of A Wolf Called Wander by Rosanne Parry, Pax by Sara Pennypacker, and The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate.

Nature isn't always pretty. But it's always a wonder.
