This. Book. Has so many fire quotes. I do feel like Wesley, Hannan, and the other tweens all talk and feel more like older teens than 12 year olds (they sound quite mature and wise for their young ages!), I don't actually mind it! The author clearly has a message to tell, and Wesley excels at showing that lesson. I think Grandpa Wilder is my favorite character. So much sass and rizz in one old man haha
So! Two quotes to leave you with:
1. "But lone wolves are usually the hungriest, Wesley. There is strength and safety in packs. In family and community." -Grandpa to Wesley
2. "It's impossible to know what other people are going through. You never really know who might be hurting. What pain and stories they might be carrying in their hearts. But it is always possible to be kind. To be the one who might lift someone up and out of their darkest moments. To be a helper."
