THUNDER CRACKS

Nat Carver and his pet dog, Woody, are in trouble,

running-for-their-lives trouble,

hair-raising fangs and evil monsters trouble

and it's all in this great book here, Wolven.

Although I might have said Woody was Nat's pet dog,

that was only half true.

He has white fur, strange yellow eyes and he doesn't bark.

He howls.

HOWLING

And in the full moon, he changes into a boy.

So he might be Nat's pet, but he's definitely no dog.

He's Wolven, a shape-shifting wolf,

one of a very special race of animals

and he might end up being the last.

This is one of my favourite parts in the book.

Nat and Woody are now on the run in the creepy East Woods.

Nat is exhausted, but he knows he mustn't stop

because those werewolves aren't far behind.

Nat gave a small sob of defeat. He was all but done in.

He doubted if Woody could take on two werewolves and win.

"I can't run as fast as you," he said.

"You go on, I'll try my best to keep up."

Woody ran behind Nat, pushing him with his body,

then ran up ahead, yipping and whining.

Nat took a deep, shaky breath.

"I can't do it," he said sulkily, "I'm too tired."

HOWLING

It was as though someone had lit fireworks beneath Nat's feet.

His tiredness evaporated at the chilling howl

and he took off behind Woody as fast as a ballistic missile.

Branches tore at him,

blood mixing with the sweat running down his face.

He was aware of nothing

except his heart pumping the blood around his body

and the rhythm of his feet flying across the soft floor of the wood.

What do you think will happen to Nat and Woody?

Will they destroy the secret government project

before it destroys them?

Sometimes with a story,

it's best not to know what's round the corner, but with this book,

you can guarantee it's probably something really horrible.

Time for you to get reading. Time for me to get out of here!

HOWLING
