This is the text and some of the illustrations in Taylor Winn's "Wolf Stories" book:

Wolf Stories
Written by: Taylor Anne Winn
Illustrated by: Taylor Anne Winn

Long, long ago, somewhere in Canada, there lived a gray wolf pack. One young teenage male wolf named Cody, liked adventure and surprises, but most of all he hated girls. Now one day he was walking alone, trying to catch something, and all of a sudden he spied a beautiful young female. Will Cody give up his pack? Will he start his own pack?

Cody could not believe his eyes. She was the most beautiful female he had ever seen. It appeared her name was Kelsi, and she loved him back. Kelsi went over a small mountain and started to dig. She was making a den for their pups. Will Kelsi's pups die before birth?

Kelsi sat down in the den about to have her pups. She had a total of three pups. Their names were Summer, Star and Kirstin and they were all females. When the pups were finally born, Kelsi started to feed Summer, Star and Kirstin, but then Kelsi saw her ex-boyfriend and he was furious. Will Kelsi's ex-boyfriend kill Cody? Will Kelsi hate Cody?

Kelsi's ex-boyfriend's name was Taho, and of course he was furious. Cody saw him and started growling while Kelsi sat in the den protecting Summer, Star and Kirstin. Taho leaped for Cody and injured him in his eye. Taho leaped away feeling good that he injured Cody, but before Taho came, Kirstin had just opened her eyes and saw the whole thing. Will Cody die?

Kirstin saw what Taho did and boy was she mad. She said to herself, "I hope he doesn't injure my dad again," she said and she meant it. Then, all of the sudden, Summer opened her eyes and she was happy as a clam. Kirstin explained that Taho had injured their dad and Summer was mad. Will Kirstin try to kill Taho?

Kirstin and Summer walked out of the den "mad as a bull with a tack in his throat." Cody started walking towards the den very, very tired while Kelsi went in with him. While Kelsi and Cody slept, Kirstin and Summer started planning Operation Something. Will their plan work out?

Star finally opened her eyes while Summer explained what happened to their dad. Kirstin set up the mud while Summer explained to the hornets what they were doing. The hornets agreed to the plan and talked about it. Suddenly Taho came and slipped! Will Taho be singing "I believe I can fly?"

Taho slipped in the mud and went sailing down through the waterfall into the hornet's nest, and Taho came out really hurt and ran back to his pack. When Taho was finally healed, he went with his pack to confront his worst enemy, Cody. What will happen to Cody?

Taho's pack jumped out of the bushes and surrounded Cody, while some of the other wolves surrounded Kelsi. One blocked the den with Summer, Star and Kirstin in it, but since they were pups they managed to slip through the guard in front of the den and escaped. What will they do to help their parents?

Summer, Star and Kirstin started to think of a plan to help their parents, and do you know what they thought of? Operation Wolftrap and this is what they planned. The whole wolf pack would trip over a log and into the human traps they found lying around somewhere. Will the wolf pack die?

Their plan was set up and ready to go, but then the wolf pack came along ready to attack, and guess what they tripped over the log and fell into the human traps like they planned. Everyone died except Taho and he was definitely going to kill Cody, he wasn't going to give up, "No Siree." Is Taho so mad he will kill himself?

Well...Then a terrible thing happened, ten minutes after the fight, Taho did kill himself and Cody was so happy he had a party. But, after an hour or two they heard that Taho's cousin, Orilo, had planned to destroy Cody, Kelsi, Summer, Star and Kirstin, but Cody's pack was ready to battle. Will Cody defeat Orilo?

Orilo and Cody and their packs met at an open place, "The Arena," they called it and it was slippery.! They started to fight. The leaders Cody and Orilo stood on two separate rocks above the others. Cody was very sad, and Orilo was excited. Will Cody's pack die?

Well the battle was finally won. Ten of Orilo's friends were injured and none of Cody's friends were injured so Cody won! Then, all of a sudden Cody was joined by his family. They returned to their home in Canada and had a very good and happy life.

-The end-
