I read this book in 7th grade, so its been a few years; but I remember it pretty well. It was an entertaining story and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The sequel is also good. Just a warning though: it is NOT a horror story, more of a fantasy/sci-fi. I read it in about a week, give or take a day or so. I'm not saying it is the best were-wolf story you will ever read, but if you like were-wolfs you should enjoy this.
