Plot

Miya has a grandfather, Michael Mcleod who has pneumonia. He is lonely with nothing much to do, so she gets him into computers. Michael comes up with a project that they could do together.They agree to discover their ancestors from way back into the 1700s. While working on the project they find a story that was written by their great-great-great-great-great grandfather.

Their great-great-great-great-great grandfather, Robbie Mcleod, talks about his childhood. When he was a little boy, he was an orphan and his uncle looked after him. His uncle was so cruel that he ran away from him and went to live in the woods. He found the wolf pup whose mother was killed. He took care of him. A few days later he and Charlie (the wolf) found a way to get to America. They were hoping that America was better to live in, but they were mistaken. In America there was a war going on between the redcoats and the rebels. When they arrived in America they went through lots of life-threatening situations.

As the years passed, Robbie gets older and Charlie does as well. Charlie also gets wilder. Robbie notices the change in Charlie and knows it was time for him to go. Robbie was very sad, but knew it had to happen soon so he may as well do it now. After that heart breaking moment he built a farm beside the lake saw Charlie. A few years later Robbie got married and had a son named Alan. He saw Charlie a couple more times and the last time they saw each other was when Charlie had a family. After Miya and her grandfather read this story they decided to go to America and see where Robbie and Charlie lived.
