This is definitely a fantasy series worth taking a look at. I wouldn't compare it to some of the more popular series out there, but I wouldn't discourage a children's fantasy fan from giving it a read. It kept me with it through the end despite the moments when I found myself translating some piece of the Queen's English into American English in my head. I'll definitely give the second book a chance after reading this one, so Mrs. Toft must've done something right. When Nat's grandfather offers to get him a dog, Nat choses a unlikey wolf-like creature named Woody. Dealing with a drooly, uncoordinated behemoth can be unusual (and funny) enough, but Nat later is surprised to find out that Woody is a shapeshifter and can turn into a drooling, naked human boy. Woody is the last of a legendary were-wolf-type creature descended from noble ancestors who helped Richard the Lion-hearted during the Crusades. And now Woody is being hunted by a rougue government agency who wants to harness his were-wolf characteristics to build an elite mercenary force. With lots of action, funny situations, likable characters and a spectacular cover to draw kids to it, I predict this will fly off the shelves. Point those kids who like Percy Jackson to this. And put it on the shelf face-front if you can.
What do You think about Wolven (2010)?
This could possibly work as a crossover YA/Elementary book...but for a strong reader.
