What Readers Are Saying:
 
"A lovely and whimsical read for any little girl or grown woman like myself."
"Dumas taps into a fantasy that I believe many children probably have (sometimes pretending that they're an animal, or in Jala's case, becoming that animal) and what they can learn from that fantasy. Jala learns more about herself, her family, and her world through her adventure as a wolf and that translates to an added layer of discussion that you could have with your child while reading this book. This would make a lovely addition to any child's ebook library."
"Jala and the Wolves...reads like a Hindu fairytale with its quaint nature-filled charm and elegant magic. It reminds me of the books I read as a child - The Secret Garden and the like - and that makes it something I want to share with my daughter."

What Readers Are Saying:
"A fun and funny tale!"
"In addition to following the adventure of Jaden Toussaint, it subliminally encouraged my little person to want to do his own investigations."
"Full of fascinating details about its New Orleans setting, this book has lots to offer for little scientists. Jaden and his friends work together to solve a tricky problem and show that even scary creatures deserve our sympathy and care."
"My son (5 yr old) was so excited to get this book. He liked 'the Ladeks, his coat, the 3 minute dance party and the WHOLE book!' Jaden is a cool kid and a great problem solver. I love his creativity, his ability to work as a team, recognition of others' strengths and his super supportive family (I only wish my sister was THAT kind growing up!). The characters are warm and interconnect well. Cleverly written and entertaining with great illustrations. And I LOVE the Doctor Who references! We are already looking forward to the next episode!"
