It is by far one of my favorite books, but not Avi's best, but that is hard to compete to. This book is very addicting, a great thriller. Extremely hard to put down. It's about this young kid named Andy, he just moved in with his dad after his mother died. He got a phone call from this guy named Zeke one night. Zeke said he just killed someone. Nobody belives Andy, and he has no proof. But he is bound and determined to prove it is true, looking all over for help, and trying to find his own proof. It's not the most realistic book, but still is a book that keeps you on the end of chair, and on your tips of your toes. The cover or title didn't catch my eye. I wasn't going to read it until one day my reading teacher read a section to it to me. I continued it on my own, and I am glad. Must read great book. I highly recommend it to you.

Maybe I'm extremely weird, but it's been nine years since I bought this book, and I still read it just for fun every once in a while. The characters are great, as well as the plot. What may be this novel's most endearing quality is that it not only shows suspense, but it also accurately portrays the volatile relationship between a father and a teenage son. That's rare in a young adult book. And I'm so tired of reading thrillers about wimpy girls who can't take care of themselves, but this book didn't have that. This book had no trouble keeping my attention.

Wolf Rider is a well written book with a lot of suspense and drama. Avi does a nice job of getting the reader's attention in the very beginning of the book, drawing him/her in with a extremely mysterious phone call. Aside from a few confusing parts in the middle and towards the end of the book, Wolf Rider's plot is almost flawless. Avi uses deductive thinking skills and almost unoticable clues to help stregthen the story line and make the novel more interesting. I would recommend Wolf Rider to anybody who really likes to see or read about mysteries unfolding or those who just are interested in critical thinking problems in general.

What would you do if a guy called and told you that he had killed a girl? What if he also told you where he was and why he did? Andy, the main character, had hung up from the phone with a suspicion that he really killed someone. His dad is a teacher at the near by college. When he had called the police they said that they would take care of it. He figured that the police would have found if he had really killed her. Andy then calls the police and is told that there were no killings and that he probably was a prank caller. He waited a few days and started to get bothered by the fact no one believes him. He then tries to research who this guy was and how he got the number. The weird thing was they had changed numbers 3 days before the call. Andy then finds out that there is a girl with the name the killer had said.

I bet your asking if this is really a good book to read, right? Yea, this is probably one of the most interesting stories I have ever read. I am into exciting books where you can't actually predict what happens. This is defiantly a page-turner. The first five pages will make you want to keep on reading. I am a hard person to get my attention because I lose interest fast. It was not that hard to concentrate on the main focus of the story. I think that I made a connect to the main character because he sticks to what he believes in like I do. He knows that nobody will believe so he takes matters into his own hands. I mostly enjoy this genre of books because mysteries are unreliable stories. I enjoyed how AVI wrote the book because of the whole topic of the story. The part when Andy meets the girl with the name the killer mentions pretty much freaks out about him. This book is defiantly not boring but every chapter ends with a cliffhanger because of how Andy solves this mystery. The plot of the book was written by one of the greatest authors of all time.

The phone rang three times before Andy picked up. "I killedsomeone." That was the first thing said in this amazing wonderful book. It captures you in a mind bending story of a young high school student who is tangled in a murder. He tries to tell his friends and family but no one will pay any attention. He finally decides to investigate himself. That gets him into more than he bargand for.

I think this book is amazing and very energetic. It keeps you guessing all through the book. I was speechless by the end of the book. You start to feel what the characters are feeling scared, excited,and clueless about who the prankster is. You wont want to put it down. When the book ends you will want more. This was the best book ever.

It all begins when Andy, the son of a local college teacher in their hometown, receives a nerve-racking call. "I just killed some one." Andy cannot believe the story he is told; a psychotic man named Zeke and the girl he just murdered. Andy and his best friend, Paul, contact the police. No help there; they just laughed at them. Andy later finds out that Nina Klemmer is still living! Was it all a joke? Or is Nina Klemmer really in trouble? And if so, can Andy figure out who Zeke is and stop it from happening? I thought Wolf Rider was a very good book. I loved all the unexpected events, and could not put it down. It was really exciting and shocking. I really enjoyed it and I think you will, too.

Andy a 15-year-old boy who receives a crank call. When he answers the call the so called zeke said I had just killed somebody. His father doesn't believe him so he has to go to the school counselor. She tells him about the boy who cried wolf so he decides to unmask the culprit. The theme of this book is verybody has a hero in them. Avi is a great writer he wrote this book to entertain the reader. With an adventure /mystery story I really liked it I would recommend this book to middle shcoolers and up. It was a really great book

Have fun reading :] jordan

Book Review for Wolf Rider

This is and amazing book written by AVI. She is an amazing author. This book has a lot of interesting aspects. It¡¦s full of some unanswered questions. Most questions you have to figure out yourself.

This novel is full of determination coming from a young man named Andy Zadinski, he is the main character. His determination is toward showing everyone that ¡§Zeke¡¨ is real. This man Zeke called Andy and started saying that he killed someone and asked Andy what he should do now. Andy started talking to the man and asking him questions. Then the man on the other line hung up and Andy called the police. The police told him it was probably a prank but Andy and I believed not.

There are a lot of characters mentioned in this book. But there are only few main characters. First there is Andy, I told you a lot about him already, but there is more to be mentioned. Andy is a young man, with a lot of courage and determination. He sets his mind to one thing and doesn¡¦t let it go until people believe him. Now I should tell you about this mysterious Zeke guy. I think he is kind of freaky. He sounds like an old man. But you never know, it could be just a mean prank call.

Andy¡¦s house is kind of big. Andy has a big room too. He and his dad spend most of their time out of the house or hiding away in their rooms. Nina¡¦s house is kind of big too. She doesn¡¦t spend much time there though. Nina spends most of her time at the university. The university is where she goes to school and she also works as a librarian. It¡¦s got a lot of students, rooms, and teachers.

I think that¡¦s all I¡¦m going to tell you about this book because I will probably give the ending away (that¡¦s the best part). It¡¦s best told by AVI. So you better go check it out from your local library. Read this awesome book. ººººº

"I just killed someone." How would you feel if someone you didn't know said that to you on the phone. Would you take it as some sick joke and hang up, or would you take it seriously and really be worried? Well that is what happened in the book Wolf Rider. Andy Zadinski, a high-school student who lives in the Madison, Wisconsin area, is at his house with a friend when he gets a phone call. The phone call is supposedly from a guy named Zeke saying that he just killed a girl named Nina Klemmer. Andy's mother had just recently died so he doesn't take this as a joke. He calls the police and they say that it was probably a joke and tell him not to worry. One day however, Andy discovers that Nina Klemmer is real and is alive. Can Andy uncover the mystery of Zeke? Read Wolf Rider to find out.

This book was very good and fun to read. Avi makes it such a good book by placing many cliffhangers and putting in suspense throughout wanting to read more. The genre was realistic fiction because even though these characters aren't real, this could probably happen in real life and probably did at some point. This makes the story a whole lot easier to understand and to connect to the characters. The one character that I could connect to the most is Andy. This could happen to anyone at anytime in real life. I don't know what I'd do if someone called me and said that. It must have been really hard for Andy. I recommend this book to anyone who is the entire book. I enjoyed the genre of this book a lot. I could not stop reading it! Every time that I was about to call it quits for the day, I ended up interested in the realistic fiction genre. The age, though, is probably ages 11 and up. Younger kids might not understand fake calling and saying that they killed someone. Besides those ages, this is a book that everyone would enjoy.

I think Wolf Rider is a great book with a lot of action and suspense. It has a really good plot and a fantastic ending. It is about a boy named Andy who gets a phone call from a guy who says he killed a girl named Nina Klemmer. He says his name is Zeke. Andy calls the police but they don't believe him. No one believes him. It will keep you up all night until you finish it. I definitely give this book a 5 star rating because it describes the characters and settings really well. I think this book is good for 8 to 13 year olds. So go out and get the book and start reading it now!!!!!
