The Shifted
However, with the new found knowledge that shape shifting families are mysteriously disappearing, Kale wonders if attending Emerson Fox Academy is actually as safe as it seems. Before he even reaches the school, he finds himself in the middle of a feud that could become life-threatening to him and his brother.
Unexpectedly friendships are formed as he chooses a side - So are enemies.
There is one girl though through it all that makes him want to stay. Except the closer he gets to Lavallette Waters, the harder it is to keep up his facade.
As secrets start to unravel around him, Kale wonders what will happen next...
Will "babysitting" his brother be the death of him?
Can he really trust Lavallette?
And how much more time do they have before someone they care about disappears?
I really thought this was a great original shape shifter fantasy. No spoilers. I absolutely loved the story line, felt it was very well written, and was not at all predictable. I really had a hard time putting it down. My only complaint is I felt the narration fell short of the story. I could tell he was trying, but at times he sounded a bit drone like, and he tried using voices but would then forget to use them. There was some mild language in the story but that was it, so overall I'd say it's

I'm a big fan of books where the characters shift into other creatures, so I was super excited to read, The Shifted. Right off I really liked main character Kale. I liked his personality and his voice. He is a very well written character. You are in his corner from the first few pages.Kale seems to be the oddball in his family, in that he can't shift like everyone else can. Kale finds himself taking care of his younger brother,Scout, who is being sent to a school for his kind, shapeshifters.I really thought this was a great original shape shifter fantasy. No spoilers.
