From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8. Seth Jacobson's father is a game warden in northern Minnesota, where some local farmers and hunters hate the few wolves that still roam free. Although frightened by them, Seth admires the animals, and his best friend, Matt, taunts him with the epithet "wolf lover." Their conflict comes to a head when Matt shoots a wolf and Seth disgustedly deserts his friend in the woods, endangering his life. In the aftermath of Matt's rescue, both boys start to sort out their thinking. A sequel to Casanova's Moose Tracks (Hyperion, 1995), this novel carries the message that demonization of wolves is wrong. It also conveys the general notion that either love or hate can cloud judgment. The friendship between Seth and Matt is not completely convincing, but Seth is a well-realized character. Some readers will expect more action than this slow-paced, message-heavy novel of reflection offers.?Claudia Morrow, Berkeley Public Library, CA

Booklist, Oct. 1, 1997
Casanova's fine sequel to Moose Tracks (1995) picks up just a week after the earlier book concludes. Twelve-year-old Seth's life is still complicated: his mother and stepfather are expecting their first child; his friend Matt has become vehemently opposed to wolf protection programs (Matt's family believes wolves have been attacking their livestock); and the approach of deer hunting season has made Seth reluctant to free Fudge, the orphaned moose calf. When his mother goes into early labor, Seth joins Matt for the opening-day hunt and is horrified when Matt cruelly wounds a wolf. Furious, Seth leaves Matt, knowing his friend is unfamiliar with the forest but unaware that a blizzard is on the way. Both boys must face the consequences of their actions and the rift created by their conflicting beliefs. Casanova offers a well-reasoned argument for wolf protection in this tense, fast-paced story. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
