review 1: One of my students allowed me to borrow this book from her to read, so I certainly wasn't going to turn her down on the offer. It was an interesting book, though far too advanced, I felt, for a third grade student. The vocabulary would be a significant challenge, and the content of werewolves is a bit too frightening for students that young. A boy named Nat has moved into his grandparents' house with his mother. They decide to let him get a puppy, but the local farmer who had advertised a German Shepherd pup, has anything but that when they arrive. Instead, the dog (named Woody) is massive, of an unknown breed, and more than a few years old. However, Nat gets a strange image flashed into his mind while they are at the farmer's that tells him the dog is in danger. Nat is in... moresistent upon the fact that they need to take the dog home. He soon discovers that this canine is even more unusual than they had originally thought. For instance, he can shape-shift between being a dog and being a boy. He is not a werewolf, but rather a member of the Wolven clan, and seemingly the last of his kind. They are a pureblooded breed, and are known for both their bravery and kindness. Unfortunately, the government knows how powerful and special these creatures would be as a part of a military force. They begin to experiment with creating a hybrid species consisting of part werewolf and part Wolven creatures. These experiments do not go as smoothly as they had hoped, and many of the Wolven creatures lose their lives as a result. Knowing that one Wolven, Woody, is still alive, makes him a sought after commodity. It is up to Nat to help keep his best friend safe from harm's way. To find out what happens, and whether or not the government succeeds in their mission, you will have to read the book.
review 2: Science fiction is a genre that controlls you and sometimes makes you go back in time. If you think so go read Wolven: For 5th time, i9s not terror is just an amazing adventure when a brave kid wants to protect his doggy that later appears to be a Wolven not a werewolf. Looks a good life but were did that Wolven come from? Figure that out on your own. Who tries to capture him? Some wer... Anyways if you read this book and you like it, comment something maybe. Or what happens? Figure that out yourself ja ja ja... kidding:). less

Good book about friendship and not judging on appearances. Could be scary for younger readers.
