About This Book
Life takes a dramatic turn for Scottie Wellington when his mother, Phyllis marries Franco Marx, a man with a violent temper who moves the family to a West Philadelphia gang infested neighborhood. As Scottie struggles to cope with an unstable home environment and neighborhood bullies, he forms some unlikely friendships along the way with people that have problems of their own: Bianca, an outspoken red headed geeky math whiz with braces, Gracie, an overweight black girl with a short fuse, Fallon, a wealthy, lonely teen who is being stalked by the paparazzi, and Jim, a homeless black man. With the help of his friends, Scottie survives the awkward teen years and takes on cyber bullying when Gracie gets stuck in a revolving door at the mall and a video of the incident surfaces on social media. Together the team of social misfits hatch a plot to get Jim off the streets but quickly discover that lost wealth is easier to recover than lost hope. However, their greatest challenge by far is yet to come. When the Wolf Cries is an unforgettable story of friendship, courage, and survival.
