"A wolf pup in a land where wolves roam free." Book #1: River Rush

Once upon a time in a land where wolves roamed free, there lived a small pack led by a wise old wolf named Greyback and his mate Silvermoon.
They had four pups called Razorclaw, Snowsong, Nightfall; and the smallest one of all was Little Fang because she had tiny sharp teeth that could bite through anything!

One day the pups decided to go play in the river, "Not you Little Fang!", growled Razorclaw. "Yeah!" Snapped Nightfall, "You're too little!".

Little Fang was sad and stayed behind by herself in the woods practising her hunting. She followed bugs and birds and jumped at them but didn't catch a single one. "Hmph" she said to herself, "I'm even too little for hunting!".

Suddenly Little Fang heard a howl from the river "Help!" and she ran as fast as he could to the water where she saw it rising really fast! Little Fang raced up and down the river until she saw her brothers and sisters, they were in trouble! As the water continued to rise around her, she began calling out to them.

"Razorclaw!" She swam towards Razorclaw who was struggling against a strong current. Using all her strength, Little Fang managed to reach and pull Razorclaw back onto the bank before he could be swept away by the water!

Next up was Snowsong; she was caught as well! Little Fang swam towards her sister and managed to reach out just before she disappeared beneath the surface. She pulled her back onto dry land and now both Razorclaw and Snowsong were safe but very tired.

“Nightfall! Nightfall!” Shouted Little Fang. She ran up and down the riverbank and was getting very worried that she couldn't find her older brother anywhere!

Finally, Little Fang spotted Nightfall holding on as hard as he could to a tree trunk right in the middle of the river! Being as brave as any pup could be Little Fang swam out to her brother and reached him just in time! Together they climbed up on to the tree trunk and ran across to dry land again.

Now with everyone safe and sound Greyback, Silvermoon and all the pups gathered around them in a circle and howled in celebration!

Safely back home at their den, Greyback and Silvermoon said how very proud they were of Little Fang for being so brave and for looking out for the pack like a good wolf should.

Little Fang was very proud too, and howled again! Because even though she was the smallest Little Fang knew she could do BIG things!

“Awooo!”
