Yes, I used the right version of the word lycan. My second ARC, called "Wolven" is about a werewolf-like dog! It comes out in June...
Wolven
By: Di Toft
A Review By: Chase Pixley
The minute Nat Carver saw the dog, he knew that Woody was… different than other dogs. For one, the scraggly pooch telepathically shows Nat a picture of Woody drowned, convincing Nat that he had to save the dog. More suspicions are raised when Nat’s family finds the word “Proteus” (a shape-changing Greek god) tattooed on the back of the dog’s neck. Nat is even more surprised when, one night, Woody turns into a human boy! According to Woody, he is not a werewolf, but a “Wolven”, a half-human and half-wolf creature with stunning telepathic capabilities.
When Woody begins to act human while in wolf form he attracts unwanted attention, and soon a government agency is trying to get a hold of Woody to experiment. Can Nat keep his best friend’s powers a secret while keeping him out of trouble?
This four-star story tells of how a normal boy would react to this kind of situation. This is unlike some books when the hero is literally born for the job or given tools, courage, or a first-time explanation to aid them. Nat begins from scratch with almost zero help. Almost anyone can relate to Nat. He hurtles both the challenges set by his curious canine and normal, every day things such as bullies, secrets, and family problems.
This book is perfect for everyone who likes the supernatural, mysterious situations and a good werewolf story. Find it on shelves in June!

Pendragon 2: The Lost City of Farr
This is the sequel to The Merchant of Death. Check it out!
Pendragon: The Lost City of Farr
By: DJ MacHale
A Book Review By: Chase Pixley
Prepare for another surprising and dramatic journey through Halla with Bobby Pendragon!
The second book in the series tells about what happens after Bobby’s win over Saint Dane on the territory of Denduron. “Malos” (AKA Saint Dane) escaped to a territory called Cloral. This oceanic territory has no land and is the home of Vo Spader, an Aquaneer (think life guard/police officer) and traveler. There is only one problem though: Spader doesn’t know who he really is. A mysterious plague is sickening the territory’s crops and pirate-like raiders keep attacking the floating “habitats” (like a city on a barge). When Bobby and Spader are separated from Press the “Lead Traveler” must teach Spader his destiny and find the mythical island of Farr before it’s too late.
This book 100% deserves 5 out of 5 stars. This tale is truly a piece of work. This page turner has an ominous storyline that makes it impossible to put down. Never underestimate this book’s thrills and chills.
