Commentary During Books Firstborn
A young wolf seeks the bravery to be himself in this lyrical homage to challenging societal stereotypes, from the author of National Book Award Finalist Mean Margaret and The Wainscott Weasel.Wolves. Predators of the wild. Stalkers of the forests. Born into rankings and expected to live up to their roles. Blue Boy, the alpha male of his pack, is the largest wolf many have ever seen, and his dream is to have a firstborn son who will take after him in every way. But Lamar is not turning out the way his father hoped. Lamar likes to watch butterflies. He worries if his younger siblings fall behind in the hunt. He has little interest in peacocking in front of other clans. Blue Boy grows increasingly dismayed at Lamar’s lack of wolf instincts, and then Lamar does the intolerable: he becomes attracted to a coyote. While the other infractions can be begrudgingly tolerated, this one cannot, and the unity of the pack is in jeopardy. Lamar wants to make his family happy, but is doing what is expected of him worth losing the only true friend he’s ever had?
Full of bite and beauty that will make you think of White Fang, then Ferdinand, this story cuts to the heart of what’s most important: being true to yourself, and being true to others.

A great book filled with life and death. Narrated by a very wise bird, this is the story of a pack of wolves. I read that author, Tor Seidler learned about the wolves placed in Yellowstone from Jean Craighead George, which probably explains the realism of the story.Beautifully written, great story. My friend Holly was so right, I loved it.Maggie the Magpie leaves home because she wants to know what is out there... well first, she leaves home because of a guy, how typical... but then leaves to travel the world. She meets Blue, a wolf, who warms up to her companionship and together they search for a new home. FYI, there is a lot of bleeping tragedy. You would think this had Shakespeare name on it somewhere or Martin sneaked in and did a rewrite.
My final read of 2016! This book brought my year total to 194 books that I read.This was a very unique book. It was beautifully written, had a heartwarming plot, and heartbreaking scenes about a group of animals coming together to survive in Yellowstone. This book was vivid and realistic but also incorporated fantastical elements.
First born written by Tor Seidler is a book talking about destiny and heritance. The main character is a magpie named Maggie. The story is about her getting tired of being an ordinary magpie.

But Lamar was not up to
There's a lot of wolf books, good, bad, awful, plain, and just forgettable. Where does Firstborn rank on this? You ever binge on things until you never want to read or watch another thing involving it again? That was me as a teen, I consumed wolf books and found disappointments galore. I grew weary, learned to predict every plot, grew cynical. This is not a wolf book at heart, it's a tale about wolves told by our POV magpie and it's amazing. Not only are there birds, but so much more. It's a
The ending was somewhast nostalgic, it's end and thats all, without a true resolution or a definitive ending, it's simply end.I miss that, A story that was only a certain period, a certain event and then when that end, the story ends.Pure nostalgia, but the story is very irregular, and it's goes up and down very easily.Not a bad read in the end.
