About this deal

The characters strike the perfect ballance between 'So now I'm a shapeshifter, but more importantly; what's for lunch? Even for a series aimed at children there is a very interesting plot that develops over the 5 books and a lot of adult concepts like abuse, torture, and untrustworthy governments that makes this available to a more grown up audience. Because of something that happened in the earlier series, Luke can't talk, he is mute, so he and Gideon sign.

He particularly liked the secret school Dax was taken to, the secret Government action in this book and the battle btw Dax and his protectors and the evil Professor.Our team is made up of book lovers who are dedicated to sourcing and providing the best books for kids. What I expected was a cute little story about a boy's adventures and mishaps caused by his uncanny ability to turn into a fox.

If your child is at the stage where they are reading things like Harry Potter, The Famous Five and the like, then this is a fabulous book for around that reading age range. Why didn't he think beforehand to prop something up against the shed door if it's known to slam itself shut in the wind, in October, in England? For further information about your statutory rights, contact your local authority Trading Standards department or consumer advice center (for example the Citizen's Advice Bureau if you are in the UK). Da das im Deutschen keinen Sinn ergibt fügt der Übersetzer hier ein paar eigene Zeilen ein und erklärt, dass Holz ja auf Englisch Wood heißt und es deswegen eine Warnung vor dem Direktor war.This book is in the list of things I’m definitely going to read to my future children and I’d recommend it to anyone - young and old - who love fantasy stories and magical schools. Je kan me niet wijsmaken dat de schrijver geen inspiratie heeft opgedaan bij de Harry Potter boeken. Strange things are happening - unbelievable occurrences that seem to be following Dax and his friends wherever they go. So many awful things have happened to Luke in the past, it was nice to be able to get inside his head and to find out how he is processing them.

She's a good reader, with a reading age of around 12/13 and isn't into overly scary books, but apparently although there is a lot of suspense, these books aren't as scary as Harry Potter and others like them. So this was one of my favourite series when I was like 11 years old and I really needed a comforting pick-me-up book, especially as I felt like I was going into a slump. Dax is a sympathetic character, his interaction with his classmates and the unfolding story will appeal to children who are fans of Harry Potter and the X Men franchise. Alison "Ali" Sparkes is a children's author of many books, including the Shapeshifter series and the Unleashed series. By the middle of the book, the plot has diverged enough to become truly engaging, and the final twists and turns really caught me by surprise.

Our Reading Den is a place for you and your child to discover and share books, find new authors and explore stories. With appeal for both boys and girls, this is a fast-paced action adventure about contemporary children with super powers, told with award-winning Ali Sparkes's humour and lightness of touch. Dax is an interesting character that has lots (by lots I mean tons) of trust issues, which you see manifest throughout the series.

I started this book in the evening and finished it the next morning because I just wanted to keep reading. I love Ali Sparke's writing, she captures the reader and doesn't let go until they have heard every last word.However, Dax is not the only one who is aware of the fact he's not normal, and soon enough Dax finds himself whisked away to a secret government facility to accomodate children with powers. I then went on to read the rest of the series, which weren’t as good as the first book, but still great. Well the children were caught up in her presentation from the start and even some of the staff joined in without too much reluctance!
