Tell the Wolves I'm Home

I finished the book and I loved it. I recommend this book to everyone. The book had great vocabulary. Since my last post I found about all my questions and it totally was worth it! I don't want to give the book away incase you want to read it! Lets just say there were lots of secrets kept and lots of the characters overcame or are working on their problems. I like how the title relates to the painting Finn painted of the girls, June and Greta! I really enjoyed this book. You should read it!

Tell the Wolves I'm Home

By: Carol Rifka Brunt

What I think of this book so far....

I am really enjoying this book. June, one of the main characters just read the letter her dead uncle Finn wrote for her. Finn died of AIDS and the letter basically said take care of Toby ( his boyfriend) he is lonely he needs you to be his friend. Toby and June are going through a hard time because they miss Finn. I think it is a little weird that June is in love with her uncle and how she gets jealous of Toby. There are lots of things about Toby and Finn that June didn't know about, she only saw Toby after the funeral and her parents told her to stay away from him. June also has problems with her sister. Her sister was jealous of her and Finns relationship. There is lots of jealousy going on between characters. I can't wait to read more and find out what happens.
