Jala and the Wolves

Jala is a curious girl who spends most of her time learning new facts about animals-especially wolves. One day, she is only a little surprised to find that a mysterious mirror has appeared in her room. Like Alice's looking glass, the mirror is only the beginning. It transports her to a new land where she must use all her knowledge and strength to save an ailing pack of wolves.

On the surface, Jala's lupine adventure is pure fantasy, very Chronicles of Narnia, but there's a deeper meaning. As Jala learns how the wolves function, she learns about her own family, herself, her internal power and how her dreams differed from her life. In the vein of The Wizard of Oz, our prodigal Dorothy returns home from fantasy with a new appreciation for reality as it is. A lovely and whimsical read for children and adults alike.
