Jake's dad saw the wolf, before Jake was born. They say wolves don't live in this country, yet in the night Jake hears it howling, long and lonely.

When Jake and Lucy hike to Sheldon Mountain in search of the wolf, Jake is out to prove his dad right or wrong; Lucy is escaping her father's cruelty. Both are tested—physically, emotionally, spiritually—but what they find on that dangerous, dark mountain surprises them both.

Lonesome Howl is taut and tender; a gripping blend of physical adventure, family drama, love story, and journey of self-discovery. Steven Herrick's new YA novel follows on the success of By the River and his other popular and award-winning books.
