The exciting adventures of a boy and his pet...werewolf! When his big, hairy hound turns into a boy, Nat discovers he's caught up in a weird government conspiracy to train wolven as weapons!
With his big snaggly teeth, patchy black fur, and glowing golden eyes, Woody is far from the cutest of dogs, yet Nat is strangely drawn to the rough mutt that howls at the moon. And before long Nat discovers that Woody's not a dog at all--he's a wolven: a shape-shifter who changes from wolf to boy without much warning. A secret government agency knows about Woody's mutant status, too, and wants to trap him and turn him into a hairy new breed of bioweapon. To escape capture, and to make sense of Woody's strange identity, the two friends--boy and werewolf--set off on a great adventure.

DI TOFT lives in Portishead, England, with her husband, their children, and their dog, Dave, who is so ginormous that he can be located by Google Maps. Her debut novel, WOLVEN, is the first book in a planned trilogy about Nat and Woody's hairy adventures!
Gr 5-8–Nat Carver, 12, lives on the edge of a mysterious forest where rumors of government “experiments” at Helleborine Halt are always town news. For protection as well as companionship, he asks his eccentric grandparents for a dog. Nat is unsure about Woody at first–the animal gazes at him with such intensity that Nat swears he is telepathic. The two form an unbreakable bond, becoming the best of friends. Then Nat's world is turned upside down when he sees Woody transform into a human boy. He discovers that he is a descendant of a noble werewolf clan whose heroic past dates back to medieval times. He is the last of his kind and needs Nat's help. The evil Dr. Gabriel Gruber, leader of the Proteus project, wants to use werewolves as military weapons and Woody is number one on his list. Toft spins an incredible tale full of action, mystery, and suspense. This hair-raising adventure with its fresh perspective on werewolf lore is perfect for audiences not ready for some of the edgier material out there. A satisfying read with a fly-off-the-shelves cover.Donna Rosenblum, Floral Park Memorial High School, NY
