Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8–Luc Grayson, nearly 13, has been dreaming about turning into a wild animal. Then, when a bully at school threatens him yet again, the peace-loving middle schooler knocks him to the ground. Orphaned when he was three, Luc lives with his Uncle Stephen and Aunt Jane. His uncle–his mother's brother–refuses to say anything about the boy's father, and, when Luc's father's brother appears suddenly at their Seattle home, the boy learns why. His father was a werewolf, one of a close-knit pack that lives tribally in the Washington State wilderness. Luc, furious with Uncle Stephen for denying him his identity, leaves with Uncle Ranger to join the Lycanthians (as they prefer to be called), who can change from human to wolf at will, and learn their ways. Luc realizes that Uncle Stephen's hatred runs deep when a vigilante group of hunters starts persecuting the pack. The symbolism of the protagonist's becoming a werewolf as he enters puberty is about as subtle as a brick, and so are the pretty basic plot and characterizations. Still, the story will appeal to middle schoolers who love the concept of becoming a werewolf, and pages will turn quickly, especially for students who need an extra boost in reading motivation.–Walter Minkel, New York Public Library
