Everything you need to understand or teach St. Lucy's Home For Girls Raised by Wolves by Karen Russell.
Karen Russell's St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves is a collection of ten short stories—most of which are lightly connected through place or character, and all of which are tied together by a fascination with nature and a deep curiosity about what it is like to grow up human in an animal world. Sisters are abandoned in an alligator theme park. Teens mischievously plot the kidnapping of hatchling turtles on their way to the sea. An orphan hates everyone in the world except a dead bear. Throughout all these strange plots, Russel's writing shines with invention, satire, and wonder. The novel explores animal cruelty, family, ostracism, growing up, and nature.
