yes, this is a newbery honor book. yes, it was recently released as a feature film. no, i did not enjoy reading this one. the level of suspension of disbelief was too high, even for me, and that's saying quite a bit considering how much sci-fi and fantasy i read!

still minioning for my mentor, solittletime. ;)

Thanks for the contribution, wilderwoman. 'ppreciate it.

Reserved for the Never Judge a Book By Its Cover Release Challenge which week 1 features a jungle animal on the cover. (Click on the cover image to enlarge it to see the wolf.)
