Spanish Description

In the Company of Wolves

Jaime se va a vivir con su abuela paterna y su tío el verano en que su padre muere en Vietnam. El rancho familiar y el infinito paisaje de Nuevo México son una experiencia completamente nueva para este estudiante de secundaria criado en la ciudad de Nueva York, y se sorprende cuando su madre anuncia que debe regresar a la ciudad, ¡sin él! Ambos están preocupados por su hermano, quien se quedó e insiste en unirse a la Infantería de Marina. Ninguno soporta la idea de perderlo también en la guerra. A medida que los días se extienden ante él, Jaime aprende las costumbres de los hombres de Cieza que han vivido en el suroeste durante generaciones, incluyendo cómo cuidar las gallinas, montar el caballo de su padre, Shadow Walker, y disparar un rifle. Un interés amoroso en ciernes, la nieta de un ranchero vecino, alegra su verano. Y cuando él y su tío Julio ven a Graybeard, un viejo lobo que no ha estado en la zona durante años, el tío del niño comparte la leyenda de la manada de lobos descendiente de pueblos indígenas y le enseña a rastrear a la bestia. ¿Podría ser el viejo lobo su padre, intentando comunicarse con él? ¿De verdad lo matarán, como insiste su vecino para proteger al ganado? En esta novela para jóvenes adultos, un niño en la cúspide de la edad adulta observa la importancia de la familia, el respeto por la naturaleza y el impacto de la guerra mientras reflexiona sobre quién será. Los jóvenes lectores, especialmente los chicos, se sentirán atraídos por esta historia de transición a la adultez que explora la masculinidad y los roles masculinos.

About the Book

Jaime goes to live with his paternal grandmother and uncle the summer his father is killed in Vietnam. The family ranch and New Mexico’s endless landscape are a completely new experience for the middle schooler raised in New York City, and he is shocked when his mother announces she must go back to the city―without him! They are both worried about his brother, who stayed behind and is insistent on joining the Marines. Neither can stand the idea of losing him to war, too.

As the days stretch out before him, Jaime learns the ways of the Cieza men who have lived in the Southwest for generations, including how to care for the chickens, ride his father’s horse, Shadow Walker, and shoot a rifle. A budding love interest, the granddaughter of a neighboring rancher, brightens his summer. And when he and his Tío Julio see Graybeard, an old wolf that hasn’t been in the area for years, the boy’s uncle shares the legend of the wolf pack descended from indigenous peoples and teaches him how to track the beast. Could the old wolf be his father, trying to communicate with him? Will they really kill him as their neighbor insists they must to protect the livestock?

In this novel for young adults, a boy on the cusp of manhood observes the importance of family, respect for the natural world and the impact of war as he considers who he will become. Young readers, especially boys, will be drawn to this coming-of-age story that explores masculinity and men’s roles.
