Wolf is a young-adult novel by Gillian Cross, published by Oxford in 1990. Set in London, it features communal living, terrorism, and wolves (according to Library of Congress Subject Headings) and a teenage girl in relation to her mother, father, and paternal grandmother.
Cross won the annual Carnegie Medal recognising the year's best children's book by a British subject. Coincidentally, The Cry of the Wolf by Melvin Burgess, featuring a grey wolf as the main character, was the highly commended runner up.
Holiday House published the first U.S. edition in 1991.
