Once There Were WolvesOnce There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From the author of "Migrations", comes the story of Inti and her twin sister, Aggie. The sisters split their time as children between their father, in the deep forest outside Vancouver, and their mother, in Australia. Learning from her father, Inti tends to spend her time in the forest learning from it and the animals within it. It leads her to a career as a biologist and the opportunity of a lifetime to reintroduce wolves to promote reforestation into the Highlands of Scotland. The Scottish people within this small agricultural community are terrified, angry, and willing to go to great lengths to protect their livelihood. Will Inti be able to protect the wolves? Can she convince this community that rewilding will bring back a thriving ecosystem? This gripping mystery leaves the reader at a loss until the very end.
