Predators of the wild. Stalkers of the forests. Born into rankings and expected to live up to their roles. Blue Boy, the alpha male of his pack, is the largest wolf many have ever seen, and his dream is to have a firstborn son who will take after him in every way. But Lamar is not turning out the way his father hoped. Lamar likes to watch butterflies. He worries if his younger siblings fall behind in the hunt. He has little interest in peacocking in front of other clans. Blue Boy grows increasingly dismayed at Lamar's lack of wolf instincts, and then Lamar does the intolerable: he becomes attracted to a coyote. While the other infractions can be begrudgingly tolerated, this one cannot, and the unity of the pack is in jeopardy. Lamar wants to make his family happy, but is doing what is expected of him worth losing the only true friend he's ever had? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFull of bite and beauty that will make you think of \u003ci\u003eWhite Fang\u003c\/i\u003e, then \u003ci\u003eFerdinand\u003c\/i\u003e, this story cuts to the heart of what's most important: being true to yourself, and being true to others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481410182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e172184 \/ Firstborn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.3 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tor Seidler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44902089195701,"sku":"9781481410182","price":7.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d43f5980-faad-47f9-81f3-901dfedb88af.jpg?v=1733813113","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/firstborn-9781481410182","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
