The Unlikely Hero: The Story of Wolf 8 is the gripping and true story of a small and scrappy young wolf who became the patriarch of the most powerful pack in Yellowstone National Park. ... An inspiring read for any child who loves the natural world. --ROSANNE PARRY, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A WOLF CALLED WANDER

Reading Rick McIntyre's books, it's like you're out there with him, seeing what he sees. --LILLY SULLIVAN, THIS AMERICAN LIFE

The Unlikely Hero tells the action and adventure story of one of Yellowstone's most famous animals, Wolf 8: a runt of the litter who surprised scientists by becoming a powerful leader.

Newly reintroduced along with his pack to Yellowstone National Park, Wolf 8 struggles at first. Small and bullied by his siblings, he must learn to fend for himself in his new home, learning to hunt, compete for food, and even stand up to a grizzly bear 10 times his size. One day, little 8 meets an alpha female raising a litter of pups on her own. Her mate was killed by humans. Can little 8 rise to the occasion and help the young family survive? Is he ready to be an alpha wolf?

Based on McIntyre's own sightings of Wolf 8 and told in a thrilling style, The Unlikely Hero is an unforgettable adventure--and a rare glimpse into the fascinating world of wolves and a coming-of-age story for underdogs everywhere.
