Wolf Stalker is the first in the National Parks Mystery series published by the National Geographic Society.
Book #1 follows Jack and Ashley Landon on an adventure in Yellowstone National Park, where their parents are working. Another boy, Troy Haverson, joins with the Landon family as the kids work together to sort out the source of a problem in the park. Wolves are getting hurt and a local news story breaks out about a rancher whose dog is killed by the wolves on the reservation. Bad publicity for Yellowstone soon ensues. The adventure leads the kids to an all-night camp out trying to save a hurt wolf they find... the question is whether or not it can survive until a rescue team arrives.
Overall, it's a fun story for young readers. There are a few key points to mention to parents though... The story mentions about "millions of years ago when the earth was formed". In one chapter it says that a boy runs off "cussing under his breath". I also don't approve of Troy's bad attitude, but I think the authors were trying to bring out how he had lived a rough life -- even then, not everyone has to have a bad attitude just because of their childhood experiences.
Wolf Stalker still has some good qualities about it, like showing kids what it means to protect the earth, and how to treat wild creatures.
