Product Description

Product Description

'One of the best books of the year' said the "Guardian" when "Switchers" was published and it received outstanding critical acclaim, followed by great sales. Kate Thompson went on to write two more unputdownable sequels "Midnight's Choice" and "Wild Blood", featuring Tess and Kevin, and here are all three novels together in one volume for nine-year-olds and above. Tess and Kevin are Switchers - they can change into any creature at will. And when they discover they share this gift, they find that together they have powers beyond belief, enabling the two of them to save the world from icy destruction. But there are other more sinister characters among the Switchers and when Tess is dragged into the dark night-time world of Martin, she finds herself facing the most terrifying choice of her life. What is more she is approaching her fifteenth birthday, at which point she must make up her mind about who or what she will become in her final permanent Switch - from which there is no going back.


From the Back Cover

Tess is a Switcher - someone who can change shape to become another creature at the bat of an eyelid. Then she discovers she shares this gift with Kevin and that together they have powers beyond belief, enabling the two of them to save the world from icy destruction. But there are other more sinister characters among the Switchers, and when Tess is dragged into the dark night-time world of Martin, she finds herself facing the most terrifying choice of her life.
A tremendous, unputdownable read. Here in one dramatic volume are the three bestselling Switcher novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooray for Kate Thompson, 30 Jan 2006
By A Customer
This trilogy is another brilliant story by Kate Thompson. Tess is a switcher - she can change into any animal at will.
In the first one, "Switchers", a huge ice storm is moving south from the north pole, and Tess meets another Switcher. They must find out what is up there.
In "Midnight's Choice", Tess meets yet another switcher, who has discovered a dark side of switching. But will Tess want to take that path?
In "Wild Blood", Tess's 15th birthday is coming up, after which she will no longer be able to switch. She has to decide what she will be.

Everyone likes the idea of being able to change into any animal, and combined with the fluency and excellent atmosphere in these books, it makes a very good book. At times it is quite funny what they get up to in animal forms, at times it is sad, but throughout it is totally gripping. I have read the trilogy 3 times now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating stories, 17 May 2008
By JohnA (Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I'm currently reviewing children's literature as part of a degree course in childhood and youth studies. I came across Kate Thompson after reading `Last of the High Kings' and decided to read the Switchers Trilogy out of curiosity. Quite simply, this is an excellent collection of three first-class novels. The plots are exciting and the characters are superbly drawn. It is obvious quite early on in the first book (Switchers) that this is about an adolescent search for identity and in my opinion Kate has been very brave in tackling this theme in a work for young readers. Theme and premise aside though any child would, I'm sure, find this book hard to put down and having the full trilogy in one volume is an added bonus. I'm surprised that the stories haven't been adapted for film or television (as far as I know) but, who knows, maybe they will be.
