[LM_NET] REVIEW: Shiver

[Pamela Thompson <pthomp@SISD.NET>]

Shiver
author Maggie Stiefvater
Scholastic
2009
400 pages

In a fresh coming-of-age, girl meets wolf love story, Grace watches a wolf pack 
from the swing in her back yard each winter. She is fascinated by a yellow-eyed 
wolf who seems to watch her, too. Grace begins to think of this wolf as her wolf. 
He disappears every summer, but is back again when the weather turns cold. The 
attack and murder of a high school classmate brings girl and wolf/boy together, and 
Grace accepts Sam as a human/wolf, and tries to make him stay "human" to be with 
her always. To solve this problem, author Stiefvater turns to medical science. Part 
Twilight, part Beauty and the Beast, Shiver is sure to be the next great teen love 
story. The movie rights are probably already in the works, and this should make a 
great teen love story movie. Recommended for YA collections.
