Author Bio
Elizabeth Jade was born in North Yorkshire, England, in 1998 and moved with her family to Wellington when she was very young. Her early schooling did not go smoothly and she began home schooling at the age of 7. She stumbled into writing at the age of fourteen when she began to struggle with depression and anxiety, and quickly found her story ideas pouring out faster than she could get them onto paper. It wasn’t until the age of eighteen that she realised her struggles in school had been due to Aspergers Syndrome (an autistic spectrum disorder). She has always had a passion for animals and has volunteered at various animal rescues, so it seemed only natural that her stories would revolve around them.

My Review
5 Stars
On the day Akea was born it was clear that she was a special husky. When she sees a wolf in the forest she finds herself drawn to him against her parent’s wishes. After a fight between Kazakh and Akea’s father, Akea leaves with Kazakh. She learns that she has wolf blood in her and is very special. But the path that she is to walk is going to be hard before it gets better.
This is a wonderful story that would delight any kid or parent. I love hoe Akea is special and although she has challenges ahead of her she faces them and keeps growing to her ultimate role. There are traditions that are changed and pasts that need to be fixed. And although Akea faces the loss of someone close, she keeps fighting.
I recommend checking out this books for kids or those that love mid-grade books. Also there are some beautiful drawings that really bring the story to life. I can’t wait to read more from Elizabeth Jade.
