English Summary/英文概要： When the Wild Calls

McKinley, a malamute, is a good dog -- he’s reliable and trustworthy. Whether it’s watching over the other dogs of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, or taking care of his human pup, Jack, McKinley never even thinks of letting anyone down -- until he meets Lupin. Lupin is a she-wolf and she’s urging the dogs of Steamboat Springs to leave their domesticated lives and join her wild pack. And though she scares McKinley, he also finds himself drawn to her and the life of freedom that she offers.

For the first time, McKinley’s loyalties are torn. Should he stay with his humans and continue to lead the dogs of Steamboat Springs? Or should he join the wolf and live freely, like his ancestors did? When the wild calls, what will McKinley’s answer be?

"When most people hear ’large-print book,’ they immediately think senior citizen. But large-print editions of popular children’s books -- from the powerhouse Harry Potter series to timeless classics like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer -- are now making their way onto the shelves of the Children’s Department at the Canton Library. . . . Although large-print editions are targeted to the visually-impaired or dyslexic child, they can also be used by standard-vision readers. So Kershner [Children’s librarian at the Canton Public Library] has decided against creating a special section in the Children’s Department (as exists in the Adult Department) opting instead to intersperse large-print books on the shelves with the regular print versions of the same titles."---The Observer and Eccentric (October 2000) (The Observer and Eccentric )

"Thorndike Press has helped me not only find books I want to read, but they also look like regular books. That’s important when you’re a kid and you can only read Large Print, you want your book to look like all the other books. I’m reading a lot more now that we have found Thorndike Press."---Jim Bernardin, Islamorada, FL

"Everyone loves to read, there’s nothing like curling up with a good book. We’re a reading family, so when our son was diagnosed with Stargardt’s Disease and only able to read Large Print, it was particularly difficult. Books on tape are wonderful but they don’t fill the void of actually reading a good story. Large Print books have been around a long time for older people, but to find a good novel for a young person in Large Print began to feel nearly impossible. The books that Thorndike Press publishes have truly made a difference in my son’s reading life. He can enjoy current novels as well as some of the classics that he missed reading when it became too difficult with regular print."---Sara Bernardin, Islamorada, FL
