Tell the Wolves I’m Home
Carol Rifka Brunt
1987. There’s only one person
who has ever truly understood
fourteen-year-old June Elbus, her
uncle, the renowned painter Finn
Weiss. Shy at school and distant
from her older sister, June can
only be herself with Finn; he is
her godfather, confidant, and best
friend. So when he dies of a
mysterious illness her mother can
barely speak about, June’s world
is turned upside down. But Finn’s
death brings a surprise into June’s
life—someone who will help her
to heal, and to question what she
thinks she knows about Finn, her
family, and even her own heart.
Copies of this month’s book and the list of upcoming
selections can be found at the Main Circulation Desk.
