Description
From the Book Back
In the computer-game world of Bowhunter—Casey’s world—there are no deaths. Just kills. In the wolf world—Nashoba’s world—there have been no kills. For this is March, the Starving Time in the Iron Mountain region of Colorado, when wolves and ravens alike are desperate for food. With the help of one raven, the miraculous Merla, Nashoba must lead his pack of eight to a next meal. The wolf hates being dependent on a mere bird—but this bird is wise beyond her years. Like Nashoba, she is old. How a young teen crosses paths with them—for good and ill—comprises one of Avis most suspenseful, dramatic tales—memorable for the pictures it paints in the mind as well as inspires in the art of long-time collaborator, artist Brian Floca.

Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, tightly sandwich it between pieces of cardboard, then wrap in brown paper to send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a one-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
