Who'd be a teenage girl? Lisette has an even tougher life than most, as
her werehawk family expects her to make her first transformation into a
hawk... Only that goes wrong and she ends up a werevulture! The
TRIALS OF A TEENAGE
WEREVULTURE include a dismaying lack of glamour and a nasty
tendency to eat from the garbage. When she's in her right mind, and
human shape, Lisette knows better. But everything is different when
she's in her new form.
A sinister element is introduced: if you can imagine anything more
sinister than having a vulture perched on the porch! A mysterious new
club opens in town that tries to attract kids whose changes have gone
slightly wrong, like Lisette. Who knew there were so many? In a town
where the humans are outnumbered by weretoads, mermaids,
spectres, vampires and poisonous trees, all going about their normal
business, the odd kids out don't really socialise. After all, a vampire is
cool, but a pumpkin vampire? Not so much! But Lisette's newly
sharpened senses tell her someone or something is leading the kids
astray...
This dramatic tale flips from the ridiculous to the nasty with terrifying
ease. You'll be cheering for Lisette, her family, and best friend Kegan as
they battle the villains... If that is what they are and not just some sadly
misunderstood weirdos. Because who knows?
YA fantasy fans will shriek for joy over this full-length book, provided
they can get their heads around a lot of new terms and a wide cast of
characters. From Emily Martha Sorensen, who has brought you
leprechaun tales and other modern fantasies, TRIALS OF A TEENAGE WEREVULTURE is first in a new
series and I'll be fascinated to read the rest.
Lisette was expecting to be a werehawk. Now she's a
werevulture.
Sure, she can still fly, but the garbage looks delicious.
And everyone's afraid of her! Okay, everyone's afraid of
her best friend, too, but her best friend chose to be a banshee.
Then the mysterious Rarity Clan invites her to join. They
offer her friendship, and the ultimate secret: how to be
turned a second time so that she could choose a different
species instead. She could be a werehawk, or a vampire,
specter, giant, lorelei, or whatever else she pleases.
There's only one catch, and it's a big one.
The tool that's used to do that is a weapon that could
destroy the entire city.
