5.0

This novel is the definition of rebellion! Not just against authority, but against society, against everything you've ever known, against even yourself. This brilliant teen story is about stumbling into your future like you'd stumble into a pothole, and it has a shape shifter twist. From this book I learned that whether you're someone with the perfect life who can't help but feel smothered and empty, or someone with a crappy life who is too afraid to break free, all it takes is the courage to recognize your opportunity. The main characters are a classic Lady and the Tramp pair, except the genders are reversed.
Adorably unsure Daniel who has this whole wonderfully open future ahead of him, feels like something important is missing from his life. He feels as if there is a wild angry part of himself that is demanding to be set free.
And admirably strong Misty, the girl who has nothing behind her and nothing ahead of her, is happy to let herself fade away inside the wolf she has discovered. With no interest in college, authority, or her peers she is a dangerously loose cannon. Inside all she wants is to get away from her life; whether it takes the wolf or the boy; something has got to give for her.
This is personally my favorite book, and I don't say this lightly: RECOMMENDED! Try this book out, who knows, maybe it will unleash something new inside you.
