The Devouring Wolf - Natalie C. Parker
The Devouring Wolf - Natalie C. Parker Book
A queer tale about kid werewolves, big bad mistakes, and terrifying creatures in Natalie C. Parkers exciting middle grade debut.Little wolf, little wolf, here I come. They say that the Devouring Wolf isnt real, just an old legend, a giant creature who consumes the magic inside young werewolves. The elders tell the tale to scare young pups into obedience. Its a spooky campfire story for fledging wolves. Or is it? Its the eve of the first full moon of summer, and twelve-year-old Riley Callahan is ready. This is the year she will finally turn into a wolf. She has to-no one transforms after twelve. Nothing can ruin her mood- not her little brother Milos teasing, not mama Ns smothering, and not even her other mom Cs absence from their packs ceremony. But then the unthinkable happens-something that violates every rule of wolf magic- Riley doesnt shift. Along with the four other kids who somehow didnt transform, Riley is left with questions that even the pack leaders dont have answers to. And to make matters far worse, it appears something was awoken in the woods that same night. A creature with an insatiable hunger . . . has the Devouring Wolf been awakened?
