The 2024/2025 Inprint Cool Brains! Series proudly presents Rosanne Parry, the author of the bestselling novels A Wolf Called Wander, A Whale of the Wild, and A Horse Named Sky.

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.
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.”
