About this audiobook
Through the Pacific Northwest forests and along the rugged coastal shores of California, Wolf Girl: Finding Myself in the Wild is 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.
“Youth aren’t just the activists of tomorrow—they’re the activists of today. Wolf Girl is an inspiring memoir of a young girl’s quest to save the planet.”
— Michelle Roehm McCann, author of Enough is Enough: How Students Can Join the Fight for Gun Safety and the Girls Who Rocked the World series
