Maiyun: Spirit of the Prairie

By William Bunting

The two boys sit on Jack Rogers's porch in Columbus, Nebraska, sipping lemonade and listening to the old man tell them tales from his youth, all centered around Jack's most beloved friend-a wolf named Maiyun.

From the moment they met in a wood lot just north of town, eleven-year-old Jack and Maiyun were inseparable. She saved him from a savage attack on a dark, wet night. He repaid her by helping nurse her back to health and offering her a home, a new human pack, and his love.

The two shared more than friendship. Looking into Maiyun's deep eyes, Jack felt a connection unlike any other. He knew without being told of the loves and losses she'd experienced in her short life-her two litters of pups, her adventures, and her mate, the alpha wolf Lupus.

William Bunting, author of the young adult science fiction novel Welkin and the thriller Tip of the POTUS Spear, returns to the young adult genre with Maiyun. Join Jack and his faithful wolf as they form a bond that endures through uncertainty and adversity-a bond that creates its own special, everlasting magic.
