WILD BLOOD

Tess isn't looking forward to her fifteenth birthday. Before that day dawns, she must decide what form the rest of her life will take. Tess is a "switcher," who can change herself into any animal from a rat to a hawk. So should she remain a human being when she doesn't have to? And are there other, even more fantastic options yet to be discovered? Frances Tomelty's warm Irish lilt is perfect for this wild fantasy. Her acting abilities are especially well displayed when she renders Tess's best friend, Kevin, in a believable lower-class brogue. Gripping.
