SHIVER by Maggie Stiefvater
December 16th, 2009 by fjacksonem
When Grace was a little girl, she was attacked by the wolves that live in the woods behind her home. One wolf, the one with the yellow eyes, scared away the others and saved her life. Despite being attacked, Grace has always been fascinated by the wolves and has felt a special connection to the yellow eyed wolf that saved her. One day, when Grace is 17 and browsing the shelves at the bookstore, she finds herself staring into the eyes of a boy with very familiar yellow eyes. The boy’s name is Sam and he holds a powerful secret.
Sam is a werewolf who returns to his human form every summer when the temperature rises. But when winter comes, he transforms into a wolf and watches Grace from the woods, longing to be a part of her world. Sam thinks this might be the last summer he is able to change into his human form before he remains a wolf forever, unless he and Grace can find the cure in time.
Told in alternating chapters from Grace and Sam’s point of view, Shiver is a book you will not be able to put down.
I recommend this book to teens in grade 8 and up.
