The Shapeshifter: Stirring the Storm
Oxford (416 pages) 9780192754691
This is the fifth and final book in a sparklingly successful series that began with Finding the Fox. Dax is a boy with the highly enviable facility to metamorphose into a fox or a falcon. The thrills of these adventures are partly because this ability leads him into dangers as well as helping him to cope with them. In this story he has to choose between the opportunity to discover more about his dead mother and aiding his friends, all extraordinary in their own way, who seem to disappear in mysterious circumstances. Only Dax can save them from exploitation in this fitting climax to the series. Some touching moments are made all the more effective by the surrounding action.
