On his fourteenth-and-a-half birthday, strange things begin happening to Simon, which could mean trouble when the class bully turns his attention to new student Ulrich, a loner like Simon.
My students listened to this story on MyOn.com. over the period of a week. They really enjoyed it. It is a chapter book about some high school students and one becoming a werewolf. I thought the book was ok.........but the boys really got into it. After listening to this story, my students asked what a myth was. Since they posed the question, we briefly researched myths online and checked out several books in the media center. If it wasn't for this book, I don't think my students would know what a myth is. Not really a benchmark or standard, but something interesting they might have never come across.
