Getting through high school is hard enough. Jennifer Scales has the added pressure of her weredragon life, taking trips to Crescent Lake to morph into a dragon under the constant threat of enemy attack. Whats worse, shes also half beaststalker from her Moms side. Beaststalkers and weredragons are mortal enemies, and tension is growing over some suspicious deaths lately. She must prove to both sides that they can live in harmony, just like her family. Well, most of the time. That is until Jennifer finds out that she has a half-brother with a few too many legs.
Unfortunately hes bent on some payback for a lifetime of abandonment and Jennifers dad is his number-one target. Her lifes starting to look like a daytime talk show. Somehow she will have to convince everyone to get along, before they take matters in their own claws.
Wonderful!
I love this series. I was kind of surprised when the first one was recommended to me, since I'm 27 and have two children of my own. Why would I want to read about a 14 year old? But I quickly got snagged. Jennifer Scales is not a perfect heroine, which is part of her appeal. In some other YA books I've read, the teenagers are responsible and grounded, which isn't really realistic and sometimes makes it hard to follow (teenage saints?). I love that Jennifer pops off the page as an angst-filled teenager who waivers between hating and loving her parents, makes impulsive mistakes, and just generally behaves as a teenager in real life does.
The story line is also, of course, very intriguing and light, easy to follow. Wonderful way to pass the time . . .
