@cary There’s a middle grade children’s book, A Wolf Called Wander by Rosanne Parry. It contains 13 chapters. Here’s a blurb:

Swift, a young wolf cub, lives with his pack in the mountains learning to hunt, competing with his brothers and sisters for hierarchy, and watching over a new litter of cubs. Then a rival pack attacks, and Swift and his family scatter.

Alone and scared, Swift must flee and find a new home. His journey takes him a remarkable one thousand miles across the Pacific Northwest. The trip is full of peril, and Swift encounters forest fires, hunters, highways, and hunger before he finds his new home.

Inspired by the true story of a wolf named OR-7 (or Journey).

Thank you! I’ll have to check it out!

I made an Instagram post with a few titles - @bookishnicole it was surprisingly hard to find. I did Life’s Too Short by Abby Jimenez - adult romance. I have some YA titles that I shared but can’t recall off the top of my head.
