"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."-- Provided by publisher.
