Yael’s character develops so much throughout the story, and sometimes my heart really ached for her. She was going to cross the world and change it. She was going to kill the Fuhrer and spark the death of the Third Reich. She was going to win the Axis Tour and earn an invitation to the Victor’s Ball. She was going to race from Germania to Tokyo. Told in “Then” and “Now” chapters where a little of Yael’s past is revealed, the story is definitely a unique one that will interest YA readers looking for an adventure, history fan or not. Graudin really immerses us into the world with our narrator Yael sharing her past experiences. Set in an alternate history where Hitler has successfully conquered Russia and the majority of the Eastern Hemisphere, Wolf by Wolf follows the story of a Jew girl named Yael whose mission is to kill the heinous dictator. But as Yael begins to get closer to the other competitors, can she bring herself to be as ruthless as she needs to be to avoid discovery and complete her mission? This deception becomes more difficult when Felix, Adele twin's brother, and Luka, her former love interest, enter the race and watch Yael's every move. A survivor of painful human experimentation, Yael has the power to skinshift and must complete her mission by impersonating last year's only female victor, Adele Wolfe. Yael, who escaped from a death camp, has one goal: Win the race and kill Hitler. The victor is awarded an audience with the highly reclusive Adolf Hitler at the Victor's ball. To commemorate their Great Victory over Britain and Russia, Hitler and Emperor Hirohito host the Axis Tour: an annual motorcycle race across their conjoined continents. The year is 1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan rule the world.
