Shiver/Maggie Stiefvater/392 pgs



This is another one of the Gateway Readers nominee. I don't usually read stories of werewolves but this one is different. A young girl is attacked by wolves and she becomes fascinated by one of them - a wolf with golden yellow eyes. Years later when a young man (naked) shows up on her doorstep with those same eyes, she learns the secret of the wolves. By spring and summer they are human but during the cold of winter they become wolves. So like any typical YA story, they fall in love and spend the entire story trying to keep him human. That said I really did like this story - it is not your typical werewolf tale. I am looking forward to reading the sequel - "Linger" to find out what happens to Grace and Sam and also what now happens to Olivia (Grace's friend) who was bitten by a wolf.
