\"Tartan-clad<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Where to go on vacation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aha! Once his father reads “Wolves to be reintroduced to Scotland<\/a>” in the newspaper, Boris knows that’s where his wolf family will go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young cub reads about the Greycoats’ Scottish heritage on their interesting train and ferry journey to Portlessie, near the long-lost McLupus castle, Wolfemina Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Folks stare at first, then welcome the Greycoats – except for dreadful Mr. Vorslad who wants to tear down Drommuir Castle to build a luxury resort (no one in town but the real estate agent wants that).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a lovely place and what wonderful food! If only they could outbid Mr. Vorslad and buy Drommuir as a vacation home in the Highlands, as a tribute to Wolfemina Hall\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting historic battle re-enactors with swords<\/a> – exciting!
Sketching birds at the beach and making sandcastles with new friends – very good.
Vorslad starting to destroy the beach and forest before the property sale is final – terrible!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can one young wolf save the castle and forest and beach, before it’s too late?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author’s clever sketches add greatly to readers’ enjoyment – Mr. and Mrs. Greycoat in kilts, Boris sketching as they sightsee, paintings of their McLupus ancestors, and pages from A Guide to Morovia, their current wolfly homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Followed by Boris in Switzerland<\/a><\/em> at boarding school with snowboarding and a grand mystery. Find both books today, Independent Bookstore Day<\/a>, and every day through the finder site<\/a> for a store near you or online at bookshop.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you know of wolves that live in your region?
