I'm Lycan This Book!

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!
