Tobias Vandevelde's The Abused Werewolf Rescue Group
The Abused Werewolf Rescue Group is so intriguing that the reader will never want to put the book down. Tobias Vandevelde falls asleep looking up at his star filled ceilings and wakes up in a hospital bed having no clue how he got there. On every news channel and headlines on newspapers talk about an unknown boy whose body was found in a wildlife park. The police, doctors, and his mother question him on how he got there, but the problem is he can’t remember. The day he is released from the hospital an his visited by a priest and boy who claims they understand what he is going through and accuses him of being a werewolf. Tobias doesn’t believe the words he is hearing because werewolves aren’t real. He couldn’t be a werewolf. Right? Readers may

    Throughout the short story, “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves” by Karen Russell, Claudette displays how she has not fully adapted to human society and reverts back to her origin of the wolf.

She narrows her eyes at Kyle and flattens her ears, (Russell 242) and when the time comes to do Sausalito, Claudette panics and can only remember how to the “pump and pump” (Russell, 243). Claudette advances through the stages as necessary, but in desperate times she forgets everything the nuns have taught her.…

    Tyler “is dropped alone onto the frozen tundra, where he begins his mission to live among the howling wolf packs and study their waves” (http://www.amazon.com/Never-Cry-Wolf-Amazing-Arctic/dp/0316881791). Because he is without any survival skills and unsure of where to go and start, his adventure almost ends before it even begins. He is attacked by wolves, but fortunately a travelling Inuit named Ootek sees and rescues him. At first, Tyler just tries to survive in unknown environment. He is really scared, so at nights he dreams of how wolves are attacking him. Contact with Tyler’s quarry comes quickly – he notices two wolves. In his notebook, he names them George and Angeline. They have pups and observe Tyler’s behavior just like he observes theirs. He studies the animals day by day and he is more and more enthusiastic about them. The wolves are surprisingly very patient, Tyler becomes the object of their attention and they accept him in their environment. They both accept each other’s boundaries; they indicate that when they mark their territories with urine - this is for Tyler much harder than for “George”. The result is trust and respect between them. Consequently, one sunny day, Tyler discovers wolves’ eating habits – in less than an hour, Angeline catches and consumes 23 mice. There…

    Patrick Ness’ A Monster Calls presents a young boy’s challenges in dealing with his mother’s terminal illness. This selection takes readers through his many stages of dealing with the situation from denial, to anger, and finally to acceptance, by way of a reoccurring nightmare. While there is a significant amount of symbolism in A Monster Calls, it is masked in mystery, suspense, and boy-like scenes, ultimately presenting grief in terms relatable to young adolescent boys. I believe that this selection can help young boys connect this tragic event to their own life and discover ways to accept the illness of a loved one. Perhaps the strongest lesson to be derived from this book is empathy; empathy for the ill individual, those who provide love…

    When Rabbit Howls

    I had ordered the book and was quickly deterred when I compared its size to that of the other books on the list. Fortunately, I decided to stick to it and greatly enjoyed the read. The trauma that Truddi had dealt with instantly put my life into perspective and made me feel grateful towards my own life. I found the contents of the autobiography shocking and twisted. I was virtually hurt by the acts inflicted upon her. The most eye-opening one I found was when the title of book was revealed through Rabbit’s story. Wanting to be a psychiatrist (or clinical psychologist), I was fascinated with Truddi’s stories and the bond formed between her and Dr. Phillips’s. The fact that Dr. Phillips was able to make such a vast difference in a woman’s life only strengthened my path towards my career choice. A quote that quite literally hit home was found on page 2 of the book. “Remember the Cheers when the child abuse hotline number went up on the Jersey Turnpike? Well cancel the cheers; the sign went down this morning.” The reason the sign had been taken down was because too many people called searching for help and the New Jersey agency was unable to keep up. I was unable to shake off the fact that problems such as these happen all around us and that there could be another Truddi down the block from me. I was also bothered by the fact that the sign was taken down so quickly because too many calls were made. Isn’t that the point of putting up the sign? Either way, When Rabbit Howls was an incredible story and an incredible opportunity that I am happy I…
