Wolf Brother

Ancient North America... circa 4000 BC

Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #1: Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver

Twelve year old Torak is alone. 
His father, the only other human he's ever known, has been viciously killed by a demon bear.  In his final moments he makes the boy swear to find the Mountain of the World Spirit,  or die trying.  
Torak not only has to fulfill his destiny, but like Mowgli must learn to live with people again.  A wonderful story about courage, destiny, friendship, and magic.

This is a wonderful story.  Because of some scary moments I'd say this book is great for kids in upper elementary on.   I really enjoyed it and will probably check out the next one in the series!
