Read what others have said about the talented writer, Sunny Weber, and her three books in the Wild to Mild series!

     "Sunny Weber takes readers on a remarkable journey between two worlds as we follow the puppy, Kaya, struggle to live and grow with a family of coyotes, and then experience returning to her role as a dog living with people. In addition to exciting adventures, challenges, and drama experienced by Kaya, we also learn about the differences between the animals, and their very different relationships to people.
       As a biologist that works with coyotes and dogs, I appreciate the creative way Sunny distinguishes the two animals in such an engaging story. Highly recommended for young readers interested in dogs, coyotes, and the world through their eyes." 
Stanley D. Gehrt, Professor of Wildlife Ecology, Extension Wildlife Specialist
School of Environment and Natural Resources, Ohio State University

Although each book can easily be read as a "stand alone", the Author had GENEROUSLY offered to send all three books to the ONE LUCKY U.S./Can. Winner!

But as hard as she tries, Kaya can’t completely fit in—she can’t kill prey or stay awake for night hunts. Why can’t she make herself a true coyote?
