OLDER FICTION
Herrick, Steven

The Wolf

(1) YA Herrick sets his spare verse novel in an outback valley inhabited by the dysfunctional Hardings and the Jacksons. When Lucy Harding learns that Jake Jackson is on a quest to find a rogue wolf, she sees an opportunity to run away from her abusive father. Instead, she faces the wolf and rescues Jake. This poignant coming-of-age story has a low-key but happy ending.
