Product Description
Fifteen-year-old Andy Crockett wouldn’t call himself the luckiest kid on Earth. At home, his brother got all the looks and all the smarts. And at school, he doesn’t fit with any of the groups — the goths, the athletes, or the brains. Even those misfits, The Six, are not exactly welcoming.
But with a new school year starting, Andy thinks his luck may be changing. Parkerville isn't the coolest school, but at least Mr. Retzlaff, his tenth grade social teacher, is cool. This class is awesome from day one. Covering World War II, Hitler, and the Holocaust, Mr. R. urges students to question everything they see and hear. It's the one class Andy wants to ace — if only to make Mr. R. proud. But before long, he starts to realize that Mr. R.'s version of history doesn't quite match everyone else's, and that succeeding in this class may cost more than he's willing to pay. David Poulsen's gripping plot, realistic characters, and enduring themes make Numbers one of his best novels to date.

Praise for Book 1 in the series
"An inspiring read for any child who loves the natural world."--ROSANNE PARRY, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A WOLF CALLED WANDER
Raised by his adoptive father, Wolf 21 has become one of Yellowstone's most famous wolves. As leader of the Druid pack, he's known for his bravery, his kindness, and his commitment to his mate--the equally impressive Wolf 42. Together, they are a couple the likes of which the park has never seen.
Then there's Wolf 302: a flirt who avoids fights, naps during conflicts, and begs for food instead of hunting. When the trouble-making rebel starts hanging around the Druids, 21 and 42 try to drive him away, but 302 keeps coming back, and, little by little, begins to grow out of his immature ways. But is it enough? Does 302 have what it takes to become an alpha like the greats who came before him?
Drawing on Rick McIntyre's work with the wolves of Yellowstone and told in an engaging style that brilliantly captures the real-life drama of the wolves' lives, A Time of Legends is a powerful story of redemption and transformation.
