Product Description

Book Description

Adventure, conspiracy and shapeshifting - X-Men meets Alex Rider

Product Description

Dax Jones is an ordinary schoolboy . . . until something extraordinary happens one day. Whilst frightened for his life, he inexplicably changes into a fox!  Before long, both a government agent and an ambitious young journalist are on his tail.  The agent tells him that he is one of several children with special powers and he's been offered a place at a secret government school where he can develop, and learn to control, these powers.  If Dax accepts, on no account can he tell anybody, especially not the journalist. 

Dax jumps at the chance of attending the boarding school. His home life is unhappy and he would do anything to escape it. And when he gets to the school, he is amazed to find himself amongst kids with all sorts of talents, from the ability to levitate to the ability to move things using only the mind.  Dax immediately feels at home.   But first the journalist tracks him down.  And then he begins to wonder who exactly is behind the school, and what they want from the pupils there.  Suddenly Dax's fox senses are on high alert. . .

Format:Paperback
I found this book extremely good, one of the best books that involve telekinetics as well as shapeshifters. The blurb is a little misleading as it made me think it only concerned shapeshifters, not clairvoyants. I found it to be well written and rather accurate when it came to describing the emotions and feelings of a 12 year old boy, and Ali Sparkes combined it perfectly with how you'd probably feel as a fox. The one down side is the constant mention of everything having a pre-ordained reason how the future can't be changed, how pessimistic is that? Anyway I found it a great read and I can't wait for the second one "Running the Risk"!

An enjoyable read. 29 April 2007

Format:Paperback
i found this book by accident in a local secondhand book shop where it had been pushed to the back of the shelf, i decided to buy it as i liked the blurb and i'm glad i did. The story is of a young boy called Dax who after cruel treatment from his stepmother finds that he can Shapeshift into a Fox, the story follows his stransformation and what happens after which includes a special boarding school, a nosy reporter and a mystery that could lead Dax to his death. All in all i found this book to be fasinating, especially the concept of shapeshifting and how the author portrays Dax's confusion. I vote this book to be definatly a keeper!!
