Narrative During Books Baree: The Story of a Wolf-Dog (Kazan and Baree #2)
I had to read this sequel to Kazan so I could find out what had happened to the pup who wandered off from the den in Chapter 18 of that book. This book is his story, but I admit that for the first few chapters I was disappointed. In Kazan, Baree had been able to hunt some by himself when he wandered off from his den. The process had seemed quite natural: each day he had roamed a bit further, exploring the countryside and learning what little creatures of the forest he could kill and eat. And one day he simply never returned. Kazan and his mate were never concerned, and that was the last we knew of the pup in that book.But here he wanders off by accident one day and gets lost and does not really know how to hunt even little prey so gets very hungry and dejected during his early adventures. Of course it all straightens out, but it felt as if the author had forgotten what he had previously written about Baree. It was a bit of a jolt, especially with the other story so fresh in my mind, and this confusion cost Mr. Curwood that 5th star.
But I forgave him by the time Baree matured into a proper wolf-dog because I was soon holding my breath over the action just as I had while reading Kazan. The final chapters are immensely satisfying for reader and Baree alike.

Another great book about the north country.j'ai du lire ce livre étant enfant. je n'ai pas aimé. Terriblement lacrymal.
Baree: The Story of a Wolf-DogJames Oliver CurwoodFantasy 241 pages? This book is about how a young wolf/dog with a father of a dog and a mother of a wolf survives in the wilderness. He encounters many animals and lives with some. I rated this book a four stars because it was very interesting. I enjoyed how it played out. I strongly recommend this book to young adults and teens.
Baree (Bari en la traducción española) es hijo de Kazán. En este libro siguen las aventuras de un perro lobo mitad asilvestrado mitad domesticado en los bosques del noroeste de Canadá. Es una novela de aventuras con protagonista canino, con las mismas premisas que la anterior: el ser humano en general es detestable con la naturaleza aunque hay mucha gente que redime a la raza humana. Entretenida lectura con grandes descripciones de la naturaleza y la vida salvaje.
great storyGood intermingling of human and animal plotlines, well-written. Heartwarming. A fun, easy read that despite being slightly more "Hollywood" than "Kazan" had some real substance.
Loved it!About 60 years ago I received 'Kazan' from a friend for my birthday! I attribute that book with kindling my love for reading. Loved revisiting the call of the wild☺
Great book right up until the end.. then it fails. The ending was too predictable and quick. I can't believe I am saying this, because most authors stretch things out too much, but Mr. Curwood should have added a chapter or two to the end. Still I highly recommend it for YA, dog lovers, and for those who believe in the power of love and hope.
