Book Description
When Daine is summoned by the wolf pack that saved her life a year earlier, she knows she has to go. She and Numair travel to Dunlath Valley to answer the call. But when they arrive, Daine realizes with a shock that it's not just the animals whose lives are threatened; people are in danger too. Dunlath's rulers have discovered black opals in their valley and are dead set on mining the magic these stones embody. Daine learns that Dunlath's lord and lady plan to use this power to overthrow King Jonathan -- even if it means irreversibly damaging the land and killing their workers.
On a mission to save both her animal friends and her human ones, Daine has to master her wild magic in order to fight for the kingdom and triumph over the would-be usurpers.

Wolf-Speaker.......2007-05-23
A forrest in the Dunlath Valley. Humans have started to cut down trees. Wolves that live in the forrest go to the only human that will listen. Daine a fourteen year old girl. She is the only one that has wolf magic and the only one who can take to them. I like this book becuse at the end of a chapter it would make you want to read more. I recommend this book to the kids that like magic or other super nacherl book. If you like this things then you should check out this book right away.
A call of help from wolves reach Daine's ears.......2007-03-31
Daine is still Numair's student and as she travels she meets her old friends...they're not humans, they're wolves. A wolf pack that's in danger. Daine answers their call for help and when she reaches the trouble she knows that it's not only the animals in danger but people are in danger too. Dunlath's rulers are discovering black opals and are trying to get them. They want the power to kill King Jonathon whom is the ruler of Tortall. Daine must stop them...until it's too late.
This book is an exciting sequal to the 'Wild Magic' book and is filled with adventure and magic. I'm sure almost everybody will enjoy this book. Tamora Pierce has created yet another masterpiece and is one of my favorites. I truly wish I could rate this book a 10.
Wolf-Speaker by: Tamora Pierce.......2007-03-14
Christine Huang
When the humans of Dunlath Valley suddenly begin to cut down the forest trees and dig holes in the valley, the wolf pack know something is afoot. So they send a request to a girl that they know will do something about it. Fourteen-years-old, Diana Sassari is a girl that can communicate with animals using her wild magic. Her father, who she knows nothing about, left her and her mother when she was young. When she was 12 bandits raided her home in Galla killing her mom and grandfather. Left alone Diane took her pony, Cloud, and left hoping to find revenge. The wolves helped her with revenge and have then been on friendly terms. When arriving with her friend mage, Numair, at Dunlath they are immediately alerted of treason. Lady Yolane and Lord Beldon are the center of it along with Masters Tristen and Gisa. When Numair goes back to send a report to the king, Tristen and Gisa put up a magical shield closing off Diane from Numair. Diana learns of a new ability, the ability to inhabit an animal without harming the body. Diane must now use her new ability and gather information on the enemy. She then learns of a new monster far more dangerous then anything shes ever met. A few of the animals that she inhabits are a squirrel, a chipmunk, and a hawk. She uses the squirrel named, "Flicker", to spy on the solider barracks, to count the number of armed men. Flicker was used a great number of times, and also rounded up the other squirrels to chew on enemy provisions. Tkaa is a basilisk that can change things to rock, and plays a key role in giving Diane's messages to Numair, who is stuck on the outside of the barrier. Tkaa also helps rally other immortals to help fight against the lords of Dunlath. The Badger god gives her valuable help as well. When she soon learned the after-affects of shape changing it is Badger who tells her how to change back to human. Badger also teaches her that even Stormwings (half-human immortals that have steel wings) are not evil. This causes Diane to show compassion toward ogers, thus allowing her to gain new and powerful allies. The main setting is in Dunlath, and is another important reason why Diane and Yolane fight over it. Dunlath is a fertile place with animals in abundance. The fertile soil allows the ogers to farm , which gives them a reason to help Diane. The fighting ends when the Kings Own (a branch from the King's army) distracts the other mages on Yolane's side, by wreaking havoc on enemy grounds. Diane manages to slip into the castle undetected, and smashes the model of the barrier, causing the real barrier to break.
Fun book.......2006-06-28
I found this book in a colection of my sisters books 3 or 4 years ago. It has a yonger mind set to it but still an enjoyable book that i would pick up and read again.
2nd in the immortal series.......2006-04-22
I started reading this series when I was about 12, I am now 19 and have read this series about a dozen times. I have also read all of Tamora Pierce's books. She is my favorite author of all time. If you haven't read one of her books and you enjoy fantasy I would definetly suggest at least one of her books.
This is the second book in the Immortals series, you go back to Daine's hometown which she was run out of. You meet new friends like Tkaa, and many more. I must admit out of this series this is my least favorite, but still excellent. You get to see Daine expand in her magic, where she can go inside the animals minds. This book has a conflict and climax (which I won't spoil) and definetly an excellent book. I would recommend this book and all of Tamora Pierce's books!

EXCELLENT GUIDE FOR NOVICE PUBLC SPEAKERS.......2000-09-16
I came across SPEECH COMMUNICATION MADE SIMPLE by accident. A friend is using this book as a text in a college speech class. I glanced through it and realized that is would be perfect for me. In my new position, I have to make lots of presentations. I have very little public speaking experience and really needed a guide.This is a wonderful book to help guide anyone through the process of writing, organizing, and rehearsing a speech. I highly recommend it to anyone, not just ELS speakers or college students. The chapter on Speaking to Inform was particularly helpful and extremely well written. This book is so user friendly and practical. I refer to it often. I like it even more than Public Speaking for Dummies, which I did find to be helpful, too.

Customer Reviews:
Magnificent and thoughtful 2nd year text; full of activities.......2002-04-13
This is a superb book for use in a lively second-year Spanish college classroom. It is not meant for independent use; it's not a teach-yourself Spanish book. It's an instructor's dream as it is loaded with realistic activities that students can actually perform in class and that are interesting. The chapters are quite thought provoking and the grammar activities are well designed and paced throughout the text. I highly recommend this text.
Good Spanish textbook.......2002-04-07
It's a textbook, but it's a good one if you want to learn Spanish. A reviewer shouldn't give a book one star because he ended up with the audio version instead of the actual book.
Not the actual book!.......2001-09-11
I ordered what I thought was the book, but received an audio CD instead. I can't take the CDs to class.
