There is never a dull moment in Tristan's life! Abandoned as a baby, he was raised by wolves and speaks the language of the forest creatures. But at eight years old, he discovers the truth - he's not an animal, he's a human! Despite his wolf mother's warnings, he sets out to find out how others like him live. He makes friends with a hungry coyote who agrees to take him to a farm where humans live - if he will reward his "kindness" with some tasty chickens. But Tristan's mission leads him into trouble, and fast! He encounters a lot of nervous chickens, a worried ex-race horse, and a group of panicked pigs that will make his journey even more exciting.

This is a great piece of children's literature for kids who love adventures. With its fun story line, and intriguing illustrations, this book is sure is to become one of your kid's favorite children's books!
