A really compelling coming of age story about a young orphaned boy who doesn't quite fit into the world roaming the country with his aunt and uncle. Oh yeah, and they're werewolves. The author said that this is an analogy of being a Native American trying to fit in the world. Even if you don't know that this book is still a completely unique take on werewolves. Possibly a realistic sketch of what it would really be like for werewolves trying to get by in the world.
