Crystal Nguyen, a young investigative reporter, wants to make her mark in the world of television. Sidelined at first from reporting on her passion for environmental issues, Crystal finds an unusual way to get her news director's attention-and the attention of hunters and poachers in northern Minnesota, some of whom are not happy with what she has to say. Her reporting goes viral when she suggests there may be someone out there-possibly part of the hunt-the-hunter movement-who is intent on going after poachers of the endangered gray wolf. She gives him the name, Wolfman, and the TV station's rating soar. Then a hunter is shot, and Crystal is worried that her Wolfman idea has spawned a copycat-a real person intent on punishing poachers. Perhaps killing them. Now she has to downplay the Wolfman idea and appeal to the copycat to stop his attacks. Will he listen? Will she be in time to prevent someone from dying? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

In Dead of Night, I had some problems with Crystal Nguyen, and after reading this book, I don't think I'll ever be her BFF; she's just too self-centered and impulsive even if her heart is in the right place. Crystal wants to be an environmental investigative reporter for National Geographic, but she goes out of her way in Wolfman to jeopardize her chances. Career in television not moving fast enough to suit you? Well then, just create your own news and report it. What could possibly go wrong?
In the first half of this book, Crystal spends too much time jumping in without thinking, and then she doesn't like the consequences. Like most young people, she also thinks she's ten feet tall and bulletproof. Time and again, her actions put her in danger. A friend finally has to get in her face and say, "I don't think you get it. Just because you are in the right, doesn't make you safe!"
Did my opinion of Crystal ruin the book for me? Not at all. I was thrilled to see that she actually did some growing up in the second half, and I really liked her attitude toward what she'd done. Sharing Crystal's relationship with a gray wolf she named Alfie also went a long way in helping me understand her.
Besides trying to solve the mystery, I quickly learned to look forward to Crystal's biathlon scenes, which both illuminated her character and added depth and excitement to the story.
Will we be seeing Crystal Nguyen again? I don't know. One thing I do know is that, if she does make another appearance, I'll undoubtedly read it. I may not particularly like her, but I do like reading about the trouble she gets herself into in her quest to save the natural world. ( )
