Through the Pacific Northwest forests and along the rugged coastal shores of California: a young environmentalist's coming-of- age story about learning, discovery, and survival

Wolf Girl takes readers on Doniga's journey: from the wilderness immersion school where she was taught by Indigenous elders and wildlife trackers, to hitchhiking across the Pacific Northwest, to Alaska, where she fell in love with tracking wolves. These experiences shaped and inspired Doniga to become the leader in the regenerative agricultural movement that she is today.

Today's youth are at the forefront of climate change activism, and will see themselves in Doniga's story, in the message that you can find yourself by finding--and fighting for--your place within the world at large.
