The Shapeshifter: Finding the Fox by Ali Sparkes
2.0
In this story, a boy (Dax) turns into a fox. He doesn't know why. The reader doesn't know why. And that bugged me. The book was seemingly set in our world, people don't just randomly turn into animals.
Turns out he was special and there were a bunch of other special kids in the world, too. So the teachers fromHogwarts the school for special magical kids showed up to take Dax from his abusive step-family.
This book was so Harry Potter-ish they actually gave the kids chocolate to help them get over shocks...
The writing was good enough. I completely believed the boy as a fox. But the rest of the book? I wish it had been more original, it might have been more interesting if so. Stopped reading at 40% point.
