He found them in a ditch by the side of the road. The girl was pinned, helpless. The animal on top of her was too big to be an ordinary wolf: razor claws, a muscular, human-like upper body. It was a werewolf, like Danny. His nightmare had followed him here, to a place where he thought he was safe.

In this exciting sequel to Lone Wolf, Danny is alone, on the run, in a new town. During the day he works in a local kebab shop. At night he tries to control his werewolf appetites.

However, he will not be on his own for long. Carver's friends have tracked him down and want to avenge their gang leader's death. But when Danny steps in to rescue a strange girl from their clutches, the fight takes an unexpected turn.

This book is suitable for Key Stage 3. KS3 covers school years 7, 8 and 9, and ages 12-14 years. A key stage is any of the fixed stages into which the national curriculum is divided, each having its own prescribed course of study. At the end of each stage, pupils are required to complete standard assessment tasks. This book is part of a reading scheme, meaning that it is a book aimed at children who are learning to read. This book is part of a HiLo reading scheme, combining high interest relative to the required reading skill. This reading book uses the phonics method. This approach concentrates on teaching children how to map between sounds and spellings, allowing them to decode written words into their constituent sounds. Phonics skill thus involves being able to split the written word 'cat' into the phonemes /k/, /a/, /t/, and to map from letter 'c' to phoneme /k/, from letter 'a' to phoneme /ae/ and from letter 't' to phoneme /t/. Decoding skill is useful when reading unfamiliar words which use regular spelling sequences.

There are 56 pages in this book. This book was published 2014 by HarperCollins Publishers .
