About this title

Review

Wild Blood is the final book in the bewitching Switchers series bringing the story of Tess, and the mysterious power which allows her to transform her body into that of any animal she chooses, to a close. As she approaches her fifteenth birthday the pressure is on her to make the choice about who--or what--she wants to become when she makes the final Switch of her life. Once that decision is made she knows there is no turning back. On holiday with her cousins in the countryside, Tess is confronted by an unknown terror which lurks in the wild woods near the farm. She calls on her Switcher friend Kevin, who has already chosen his permanent form, for help. Together they face the fear that just might hold the key to Tess' future.

Once again Kate Thompson, one of the most exciting contemporary writers for children, uses her creative and sensitive storytelling touch to its best advantage to bring one of the most innovative and intriguing trilogies a young reader is ever likely to experience to its natural conclusion. Perhaps best read as part of the Switcher¹s trilogy, but nonetheless an outstanding book in its own right, Wild Blood is an intense, magical and irresistible read for children aged 10 and over. --Susan Harrison
