If you are into supernatural young adult novels, then you must put Weregirl on your “to read” list. Weregirl is a contemporary YA thriller filled with humor, romance, adventure, and a real-world relevant storyline that was crafted by a truly feminist team of authors who passionately believe that teen girls deserve a better teen girl protagonist.
Set in present-day Michigan, Weregirl introduces readers to Nessa Kurland, a high school junior focused on winning a college scholarship for cross-country running… until a dangerous late-night encounter with a trapped wolf in the woods drastically alters the course of her destiny.
Eager to escape Tether, a small community on the brink of shutdown since its lawsuit-worthy decimation by corporate polluter Dutch Chem – when Nessa is badly bitten by the wolf in the woods, she fears her chances at a one-way ticket out of her hometown have been ruined. But Nessa’s freakishly quick recovery is followed by improved running times, and all of her senses have heightened.
She has become a werewolf.
In her transformed state, Weregirl’s Nessa learns there are things about Tether that powerful people want to keep hidden. Why does a Nobel Laureate work at a small-town medical clinic? Are top college athletic scouts interested in her emerging talent? Can she trust Chayton, the handsome 23-year-old motorcycle-riding guide her friends have faith in? Nessa must navigate her junior year and true human darkness – while making peace with her new, wild nature.
