SIMON THORN & THE WOLF'S DEN, by Aimee Carter

The story: Simon thought being bullied--and being abandoned by his mom--was bad...but that was before he was attacked by rats, seized by pigeons, and chased by wolves. All in one day. On the bright side, he's made some new friends: Animalgams--kids who have the unusual ability to turn into animals. But of course there's always a drawback: some of those kids might turn out to be enemies, and one of them might even betray him to his grandmother who (incidentally) wants to kill him. Life can be so messed up.

June Cleaver's ratings: Language G; Violence PG-13; Sexual content G: Nudity G; Substance abuse PG; Magic & the occult (shapeshifting) PG; GLBT content G; adult themes (parental abandonment, inter-family violence) PG; overall rating PG.

Liz's comments: This one is quite reminiscent of the Michael Vey series (although it's kids who turn into animals, rather than kids imbued with electrical powers). If you have fans of the first, steer them to this one next.
