Blue Wolf
The Julie Andrews Collection

by Catherine Creedon



      Jamie Park is struggling with the death of his mom, the growing distance between himself and his father, and his sense of isolation at school. He finds himself more and more drawn to the invisible wolves he feels he has imagined to keep himself company as he runs. Then Jamie's Aunt Louise invites him to spend the summer and his father seems set on the idea despite Jamie's misgivings. It's a summer of increasing strangeness climaxing in revelations beyond Jamie's imagination. Blue Wolf is an interesting and fast-paced combination of reality and fantasy. The revelation isn't exactly a surprise to the reader, but Jamie's handling of it and the decisions he must make and live with make up for the somewhat predictable climax. Blue Wolf is Catherine Creedon's first novel, and it suggests readers may be in for a long and enjoyable relationship with this author's imagination.
