The 2024/2025 Inprint Cool Brains! Series proudly presents New York Times bestselling author of A Wolf Called Wander, Rosanne Parry sharing her new middle-grade novel A Wolf Called Fire: A Voice of the Wilderness

Rosanne Parry is the author of the bestselling novels A Wolf Called Wander, A Whale of the Wild, and A Horse Named Sky. These “Voice of the Wilderness” stories center the voices of wild animals and focus on their struggle to survive in a dangerous and changing world. Based on rigorous research and inspired by the real animals of the western United States, Rosanne’s books are treasured by teachers and librarians and adored by animal-loving readers of all ages. The author lives with her family in Portland, Oregon, and writes in a treehouse in her backyard.

Rosanne Parry joins us to share her new book A Wolf Called Fire, already the 2025 Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection and a #1 Indie Best Seller. This highly anticipated, stand-alone companion to the instant #1 bestseller A Wolf Called Wander. In A Wolf Called Fire Warm is the smallest pup, the one his father calls the heart of the pack. But all Warm sees is his bigger brothers Sharp and Swift, even his sisters Pounce and Wag, winning all the wrestling matches. Just as Warm is finding his place, enemy wolves destroy and scatter the pack. Warm helps lead the pups away from the fight, only to find himself alone with four pups to defend and feed. Can he be both the heart and the head of a new pack? Does he have to choose the aggressive leadership style of his father and brothers? Or is there another way? According to the New York Journal of Books, “Readers who enjoyed A Wolf Called Wander, as well as those with a fondness for realism and wildlife tales, will find this latest addition to Parry’s growing library of nature-themed novels a rewarding pleasure.” And School Library Journal writes, “Middle schoolers will instantly identify with Warm. . . . This wolf tale presents a diversity of ideologies and perspectives, all of which are sure to help readers reflect on where and how they fit into the world.”

The event will start with an interactive talk from Saint Francis Wolf Sanctuary who provide exceptional lifelong sanctuary to non-releasable wolves and wolfdogs. Come and learn all about wolves and how you can help conserve their habitat.
