Its eyes widened as it grew closer and closer to her face. Alice was paralyzed with fear, clutching her bedcovers with white knuckled fingers.

The claws clicked together... as the monster’s jaws opened.

As a big fan of YA books as well as being a Trekkie, I thoroughly enjoyed this imaginative well-written short YA novel by Mandy Barnett, illustrated by Linda Pedley.
It takes the reader on an adventurous journey from an ordinary small town setting, to flight, and into a cavernous mountain. It is reminiscent of a very good episode of either Star Trek or The Twilight Zone (two of my favourites). I won't say much more, or I will have to mark this review as containing spoilers.
It is available in both print (if, unlike me, you are patient enough to wait for it to arrive in the mail) and as an e-book through Smashwords. The cost is very reasonable and this is a book your children/teenagers will enjoy reading. Since it is free of bad language and inappropriate situations, this is one I will allow my own teenagers to read and enjoy.
Kudos to the author and illustrator for putting out such a great addition to YA literature!

Highly entertaining - what is the clicking noise? What does it mean?
An orphan, Alice is rescued by an Aunt & Uncle and taken to a remote cottage.
What secrets do these guardians keep?
What will it mean to Alice?
Transformations can be traumatic - can the new form be accepted?
