    About this audiobook

    Hunting—the predator and its prey—is at the heart of this riveting and suspenseful novel from Newbery Medalist Avi with illustrations from Caldecott Medalist Brian Floca.

    In the computer game world of Bow Hunter—thirteen-year-old Casey’s world—there are no deaths, just kills. In Nashoba’s world—the wolf world—there have been no kills. For this is March, the Starving Time in the Iron Mountain region of Colorado, when wolves and ravens alike are desperate for food.

    With the help of a raven, the miraculous Merla, Nashoba must lead his pack of eight to their next meal. The wolf hates being dependent on a mere bird, but Merla is a bird wise beyond her years.

    When Casey’s path crosses Nashoba’s, the worlds of two very different hunters collide.

      It’s a pretty good book, the narrator is great, puts feeling into the story!
    • 3/5
      I thought this was a fine book. I say this because it is age appropriate without much violence. Yet I didn't really get the whole connect between Casey playing video games of hunting and real life with him encountering Nashoba. Why I say this is because it did not really seem like Casey learned any lessons from his meeting with Nashoba. Although I did like Nashoba. I felt sorry for him yet I had an instant connection with him. You won't learn much from this book and there is nothing grand about the story but it is a quick, nice read.
