The theme of confronting fear is made vivid in this chapter book about an 11-year-old boy who is scared of two things: encountering a wolf in the woods and running away from it. What would remain a fairy-tale hypothesis for most kids is a realistic one for hero Jake Reynolds, since at least one wolf has been spotted on the tiny island where he and his family live. The book takes off midway through when he and his best friend, Emily, take a hike through the woods. Just as in his fearful dreams, Jake soon finds himself held at bay by two wolves. Jake's selflessness in protecting Emily and his coolheadedness in following the advice to never run from a wolf form both a heart-pounding climax and a very satisfying resolution to his fears. Information about living in harmony with the environment is seamlessly incorporated. Introverted Jake is similar to Greg Heffley in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, but his struggles are developed in a much more serious vein. Copyright 2010 Booklist Reviews.
