Produktbeschreibung

Critically acclaimed author Natalie C. Parker makes her middle grade debut with a queernormative take on werewolves in which a young girl, trying to solve the mystery of why she hasn't yet transformed, will have to face off against a terrifying creature from legend. It's the eve of the first full moon of summer, and twelve-year-old werewolf Riley Callahan is so thrilled that this is the year she and her best friends are finally going to turn into wolves. Nothing can ruin her mood: not her little brother Milo's teasing, not her mom Neena's smothering, and not even her other mom CeeCee's absence from their pack's ceremony. But then the unthinkable happens-something that violates every rule of wolf magic: Riley doesn't change. Along with the four other kids who somehow didn't transform, Riley is left with questions that even the pack leaders don't 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…for wolves. Angry at being kept in the dark, and anxious to fix all of the problems plaguing the pack, Riley and the other kids left behind decide to take matters into their own hands. They uncover a legend about a beast called the Devouring Wolf and realize that every single werewolf is in danger. To save her pack-and her new friends-Riley will need to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about leadership and friendship, unearth her community's deepest secrets, and stand her ground against the danger threatening everyone she loves.
