Brilliant White Peaks
Teng Rong, author
Summer was bountiful. Winter was harsh and threatened to tear my family apart. When the danger came at night, Ma, Pa, my sister White-Ears and I fled from the safe place. It was supposed to be an adventure. Ma told me about the ocean and promised there would be lots of food. We would be a happy family again. But danger is never too far away. It was a cold and dark night when the strangers attacked. Snarling. Glowing green eyes and big teeth. The scent of blood everywhere. Ma and Pa held them off while I escaped with White-Ears. We are safe now, but White-Ears is horribly injured, and her illness is getting worse. I know I can help her get better. When she is healthy again, we will go to the ocean together, because Ma and Pa are waiting for us.

Reviews
Emily Thompson, Reedsy Discovery

Brilliant White Peaks is a beautiful book telling the story of a wolf and his journey to adulthood as he passes through the season. When I first started this book I expected to find a first person narrative told by a wolf to be a gimmick but it turned out to be a really amazing read and one I'd definitely recommend.

Kirkus Reviews

A captivating animal tale that explores universal themes ... The solid story delivers a generally satisfying coming-of-age plot that celebrates the natural world without romanticizing it.

Pikasho Deka, Readers' Favorite

A book that every animal lover will find riveting to read. The author doesn't shy away from showcasing the brutal aspects of nature but mixes them with some truly heartwarming moments that stay with you long after you've finished the book.
