Mia and Liam are thrilled for a day of paddling down the surging Sturgeon River in their tandem kayak. But their peaceful adventure takes a wild turn when they spot a majestic wolf trotting along the riverbank—watching them with intelligent eyes, almost as if it’s following their every move.
Startled and trying to avoid a massive boulder ahead, Mia steers too sharply, sending the kayak flipping into the icy water. Soaked, shaken, and now miles from their parents, the Vet Kids are forced to hike alone through the dense, unpredictable Pigeon River Forest.
With fading daylight, unfamiliar trails, and the presence of the mysterious wolf lingering in their minds, Mia and Liam must rely on their outdoor skills, bravery, and teamwork to find their way out. But as the forest closes in around them, one question grows stronger with every step:
Was the wolf a threat… or a guide?
Indian River and the Mystery of the Mystical Wolf is Book 4 in the Vet Kids Club series—an exciting, wilderness-filled adventure perfect for readers ages 8–12 who love animals, outdoor survival, and heart-pounding mystery.
