"I recommend this book to people who people who like books about fantasy and nature."
#iLoveMG is my continuing series where I share middle grade books recommended by my fifth graders. (Please note that my fifth graders read a wide variety of books across a wide variety of genres, levels, and topics. Do not think that these books are "only" for fifth graders.) For younger readers, #3rdfor3rd for recommendations from when I taught third grade.
My book is The Wolf’s Curse by Jessica Vitalis, and the genre is fantasy. It is about a boy named Gauge. Gauge lives with his grandfather in Bouge-by-the-Sea. He’s done so for twelve years, even when his life was upended by him realizing he can see the mysterious Wolf.
The Wolf's Curse
Recommended by Nathalie
But one day his grandfather dies, and leaves telling Gauge to stay away from the wolf. Gauge’s whole world is upended, leaving him homeless and an orphan. But he knows he has to complete the ritual that will send his grandfather to the Sea-in-the-Sky, where he can actually “rest in peace.”
But Gauge starts noticing little thing about the way they send people to the Sea-in-the-Sky, and has to face a choice: Will he believe what he has thought his whole life, or will he believe the mysterious wolf and let the walls of reality crash in?
This is a good book because it is about not always believing everything you are told, and the plot flows nicely. I recommend this book to people who people who like books about fantasy and nature. I rate this book 4 ½ out of 5 stars.

Interesting! I've had this book on my TBR for awhile but didn't really know what was about. I'm definitely intrigued now.
