Ingrid and the Wolf<br />
André Alexis<br />
Like all of us, Ingrid wants to belong, especially to a family. Now,<br />
she does have parents whom she loves very much, but she has a<br />
sense that there is more to her past than she’s been told. When<br />
the opportunity presents itself for her to visit Hungary, Ingrid<br />
takes it despite her parents’ objections.<br />
What she finds in the old country is enchanting, gorgeous,<br />
and terrifying. Her legacy is nothing like she expected. It is a<br />
creature that is, by turns, loving and vicious. It is a wolf.<br />
Ingrid realizes that she is the caretaker of her unusual<br />
inheritance, like it or not.<br />
Award-winning author André Alexis delivers his storytelling<br />
skills to a new generation of readers in this, his first children’s book.<br />
