Walking Wolf Road The Wolf Road Chronicles Brandon M Herbert Debra Ginsberg Books

I had the pleasure of reading Brandon Herbert's Walking Wolf Road this week. There are several things that struck me as I read, and the first was Herbert's ability to create a strong, compelling teen boy voice in his hero, Jimmy Walker. Through this character, Herbert explored the realm of family relationships, high school drama, and the paranormal world of Native American shapeshifters. These are heavy, complex issues that Herbert dealt with satisfactorily and sometimes with surprisely unexpected twists. **No Spoilers** here!!!!

Jimmy Walker is being raised by his mother and stepfather, who seems at times overly critical and demanding of Jimmy. This perceived rejection by his stepfather is part of the fuel that feeds the fire with Jimmy, the dark fire that consumes, which Jimmy calls his "dragon." To make matters worse, Jimmy's stepfather moves the family around quite a bit. Jimmy has just landed, in chapter 1 in a new town at the beginning of his senior year in high school. He hates the fake high school culture that drives most of the drama and encourages a group of jocks to be bullies. Herbert's hero is the unlikely type: over-weight, depressed and totally unaware of his talents, or dormant courage. The story unfolds and we get the pleasure of watching Jimmy discover new aspects of himelf develop with a new found group of friends, The Pack.

The premise: loner boy, Jimmy Walker, meets strange new friends, Fen, Loki, and Geri, and finds a place he belongs. They are werewolves who bring Jimmy into the Pack. When a dead boy speaks to Jimmy and a dark shadow haunts his dreams, he is propelled on a mission of self discovery as well as a mission of truth. With his Pack mates at his back, he begins the journey. But life is rarely what you expect and loss changes everything.

Jimmy's best friend is the beautiful, but creepy Fen, who opens Jimmy's eyes to the world of the paranormal and WOLVES, or werewolves that is! In the "Pack" is a dark-haired beauty named Loki and the quiet Geri. They play like wolves, order their relationships like wolves and explore the world like wolves. The relationship between Jimmy, new Pack pup, and Fen, the Alpha dog, is perhaps where Herbert does some of his best teen relationship exploration and it has intense momemts...you'll have to read to find out what happens and why. The romantic triangulations will make your eyebrows raise...

I appreciated his take on the "werewolf" concept. Herbert incorporated just enough Native American culture as to create a believable "otherworld" complete with rules of engagement and mystical characters. His descriptions were vivid and beautiful. As the hero, Jimmy, explores his connection to his personal, inner wolf, he discovers that much of what he thought was true about life, his family and his friends was actually ...different, not wrong, but different. Herbert takes on the teen world with great confidence. He creates a world where werewolves live among humans. A world where you never know if someone is a wolf in sheep's clothing or a Wolf in a man's body. I loved it. This is a great, fast-paced read you can really sink your teeth into, no pun intended:)

Walking Wolf Road The Wolf Road Chronicles Brandon M Herbert Debra Ginsberg Books Reviews

Unlike many werewolf books, the story revolves around the characters' lives, instead of the conflict and fear aspects. Teens deal with the issues of highschool life though the eyes of the supernatural.
What an awesome story. This book covered so many things I can't even begin to say. Yes the base is a paranormal werewolf story, but it touches on loss, pain, abuse, suicide, murder, suspense, love, letting go and finding one's true self. I have found a new favorite author. This story will stay with me for a long time. I can't wait to get the next book. Thank for such a lovely way to tell what teenagers face and deal with in this day and age.(well, maybe not the werewolf part)
I'm struggling for words on this one. I really enjoyed this story and it will definitely be one I'll read again and again. It was very difficult for me to remember this was a story I was reading, I often felt I was looking through Jimmy's eyes. That's weird for me, considering he's a male and I don't often relate to guys. On top of that, the story felt so real that I caught myself searching for my own inner wolf, hoping there really was one to find. There were a few times I was sure I was catching a clue left inadvertently as to who did what, and I was seriously shocked to find out I was far off track. I was pleasantly surprised though, I don't like too much predictability. I'm really happy with this find, it was very obviously well thought out and full of interesting ideas, some I've never heard of or considered. Its always nice to see something new and non-traditional. The way this story was written, well it makes me wonder how much of it is actually possible... one can hope right?
I was slow to read this book believing I would not like it as much. I learned to NOT judge a book by its cover. The humanity and emotions were delivered with surprising strength. The plot was amazing and I kept getting surprised at every turn of the page! Definitely one of the best books I have read ever!!!!
This is a story of a young man learning who (and what) he is. It's a love story, bot love isn't the main theme....it's a mystery, but there's much more to than just that. The problems addressed are real....teen depression, suicide, bullying, sexuality, figuring our way between right and wrong, dealing with loss. All of these things are part of the story...but the whole is so much more than the sum of its parts. There's no sex in this book...it's about coming of age, not getting laid....but there's love, friendship, and joy in abundance, along with healing, both of body and spirit. This is one of the best books I have read this year....and I read a LOT. Thank you, Brandon, for a fine story, well-written, which wouldn't let me put it down. I look forward to more.
This story is mostly about Jimmy who is a teenager going through the hell of being an outsider during his high school years. He knows what it is like to be picked on, he knows what it is like to be a loner, and he knows what it is like to try and keep his grades up so his stepdad won't yell at him.

When Jimmy comes to the new school in Colorado, things start to change. Suddenly other people want to be friends; they want him to join their group. Not just any group, but they say they are a pack werewolves. Is Jimmy desperate enough to play their little werewolf game? Yes he is.

This is not your regular werewolf novel and I really enjoyed the change of pace. As I read the story of Jimmy, I kept wondering if the whole werewolf thing was going to be in his mind or in his reality. I enjoyed all the wolfy knowledge that the author seemed to have about normal wolf behavior in a pack. I also enjoyed the Native American tie-in with the legends.

Since this is Brandon Herbert's debut novel, I think we can expect to see great things in the future from this author. He had his own vision of all things werewolf and stuck to his ideas all through this book. Great Job!!
