It was her failings that led her to believe there was something unnatural about her existence within the pack. She just couldn't understand what it was.It wasn't until danger landed at their feet because of Little One's mere existence that she realised how wrong her mother had been about her. To save her family, Little One must make a choice: Are they stronger with her? Or are they better off without her? And as the threat grows closer, will she even get to make the choice? Join the pack in the first instalment of the Into the Wild series, a young adult adventure Home to the Wild.
