Other editions of book Jasper Lilla and The Wolves of Banner Elk

Before he inherited his father’s wolf’s tooth necklace, Jasper Lilla considered himself to be the most ordinary guy in Boone, North Carolina. He’d have done anything to please Riley Lyons, the girl with the strawberry lip gloss, but why would a girl like her be interested in an ordinary guy like him? To please her, he put on the necklace, and his life became anything but ordinary. Despite the disapproval of his mother, Jasper takes a job as an errand boy at Lion Pharmaceuticals. A man dies in his arms. A panic attack sends him to the ER. He nearly gets killed…twice. Was the necklace responsible for that, or did the necklace save him? Could the necklace have something to do with the uncanny appearances of the white wolf? What is its connection to the weird security guards at Lion Pharmaceuticals? A deeper confusion comes when Jasper discovers his father’s journal. Did his father really believe the necklace had some sort of magic power over wolves? Could it be a talisman used by the Nicatani, a legendary Cherokee priestly clan? Could the necklace hold the key to who he and his family really are?

Wolves, nature's ecological police, bring balance in nature wherever they go. What would it be like if something similar happened in the world of men? Seventeen year old Jasper Lilla of Boone, NC is about to find out. He's also about to find out who murdered Dr. Dietrich and what it's like to face death himself. But the most unsettling discovery Jasper is about to make is who he and his family really are.
