A queer tale about kid werewolves, big bad mistakes, and terrifying creatures, perfect for fans of Katherine Arden and R.L. Stine.
Little wolf, little wolf, here I come.
It's the eve of the first full moon of summer and twelve-year-old Riley Callahan is ready to turn into a wolf. Nothing can ruin her mood: not her little brother Miloâs teasing, not Mama Nâs smoth-ering, and not even Mama Câs absence from their packâs ceremony. But then the unthink-able happensâsomething that violates every rule of wolf magicâRiley and four other kids donât shift.
Riley is left with questions that even the pack leaders donât have answers to. And to make matters far worse, it appears something was awoken in the woods that same night.
The Devouring Wolf.
The elders tell the tale of the Devouring Wolf to scare young pups into obedience. Itâs a terrifying campfire story for fledging wolves, an old legend of a giant creature who consumes the magic inside young werewolves. But to Riley, the Devouring Wolf is more than lore: itâs real and itâs after her and her friends.
