Fun Fantasy Adventure

England, 1806. Like all Ashleigh firstborn children, fourteen-year-old Celia is a shapeshifter, but she's still years away from being fully trained and taking her place as a Deputy of the Crown, a secret agent and spy like her father, uncles, and cousins. When Remy Broussard approaches her, looking for her father's help, Celia decides to take on the mission herself, since her father is away and out of touch.

Remy is doubtful, but Celia disguises herself as a terrier (although her favorite form is the Fox) and stows away on Remy's ship as he returns to France. There Celia discovers that her new friend is a shapeshifter of another sort, a werewolf, and that his younger sister, about to change for the first time on her twelfth birthday, is in dire peril.

Celia soon comes to realize that there are some big gaps in her training, but with help from Remy and the gypsy girl Radilu (who not only has unusual abilities of her own, but a very odd horse as well), she discovers that quick thinking and teamwork may yet save the day.

Celia and the Wolf is aimed at middle-grade readers, but it's also quite entertaining for adult readers who enjoy a clever (and girl-powered) adventure. The next installment of the Shapeshifter Journals, Celia and the Mountain Lord, will continue Celia's tale.

Every Young Girl Will Want To Be Celia!

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2015

Young Celia Ashleigh is an over-confident and under-trained shapeshifter, impatient for adventure and a chance to prove herself as a future Crown Deputy of England. When her father is unavailable to help young werewolf Remy Broussard save his sister’s life, Celia stows away on the ship to France, certain she can do the job herself with no assistance from anyone. She definitely finds adventure, including a shipwreck, gypsies, and a somewhat magic horse. Celia also learns a valuable lesson along the way when she realizes success often means accepting help from others.

Celia And The Wolf is a fast-paced story with non-stop action. Young girls will want to be Celia, and they’ll want Remy, Radilu and Crumpet as forever friends. This book is perfect for middle grade readers, but I enjoyed it immensely as a young-at-heart adult reader.

Delightful tale of a novice shapeshifter

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2015

Verified Purchase

While I may be well past the targeted reading age, I found this book a delightful page turner. Celia is a spunky, well intentioned shape-shifter that starts out overly confident in her abilities, but grows wiser through her trials and errors. She discovers the value of friendship and thinking before she acts.

Donna Maloy has created an intriguing world full of rich characters that live in a charming setting. I am looking forward to visiting this world again and adventuring with Celia in the sequel.

Don't Outfox the Fox!

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014

This is a fun, clean adventure.

The main character, Celia, is very human--despite her unusual abilities. She's not a "cookie-cutter" heroine. She is challenged. She sometimes fails.

In the Napoleonic era, Celia risks traveling between two countries that have uneasy relations as she helps someone in need. Celia soon learns that cultural norms are not always the same as home.

This author knows how to build good characters and a great paced story.

I recommend this YA book!
