This book is about
Rocky runs away with his friend, Stubb, because Rocky's Dad tells him that he can't keep his wolf cub, Alf, anymore. They go into the hills and Alf disappears into the woods. Rocky and Stubb start to eat their food while they wait for Alf. Alf comes back eventually and leads them to a dark cave. They fall asleep. Alf brings a hare for them to eat. A bear comes and growls at them. Rocky's Dad rescues them by throwing a spear at the bear. They all go home.

The main characters are
Rocky, Stubb and Alf.

My favourite part of the book is
I like when Stubb's Dad threw a spear at the bear to save they boys.

I would also like to say
I found this book really scary when the bear came.
