2. I read The Wolf by: Steven Herrick. This book was about a girl named Lucy, whose dad is an alcoholic. She lives on a farm in Australia and has a neighbor named Jake, who also lives on a farm. Every night they hear “the wolf” howling in the mountains, and Jake’s sheep are being killed by it. But, wolves don’t live in Australia, so at first nobody believes it’s a wolf. One day Jake and Lucy decide to go into the mountains and look for the wolf.
