**Summary of the Plot**

__Shiver__ is a book that has wolves who are actually people that were bitten by other wolves and they turn into a human in warm weather. Grace Brisbane was dragged of off her swing and into the woods when she was 11, then was bitten by wolves, but didn't change into one like the rest of the people did when they were bitten. The big problem in Shiver is that the werewolves in Mercy Falls are killing and biting people.Almost four years after Grace was bitten, the wolves were at it again. Jack Culpeper was bitten and soon after turned in to an actual werewolf. Isabel, Jack's sister, is so depressed about what happ ened to Jack, she asks her dad to get a group of hunters to kill the remaining wolves in Boundary Wood. Grace only knows Sam as "the wolf with the yellow eyes" untill he is shot and turns into a human on her back porch. Grace only found out about the changing problem after she heard Jack's howl, and because her friend Sam told her. She was shocked that she didn't change and now Sam and Grace are curious to find out why.

Then, about a month later, Jack, Olivia, and Sam are all bitten in the middle of winter which is a bad sign. Sam is about to change and Grace and him are fighting to keep him a human. Because Jack is a new wolf he changes uncontrollably and while being a human, he locks Sam in a garden shed in the freezing cold weather.When Grace finds out, she sends Isabel to go find him. Once Sam is found, Isabel takes him inside and plops him in front of a fire. While Sam is in front of the warm fire, Beck, Grace and Paul are at home and Jack as a wolf, is locked in the bathroom. After he is locked in, Grace heads over and checks on Sam. While talking to Grace inside the house, Isabel said she thinks she might have found a possible cure to stop the werewolf problem. Her theory is that if you put meningitis into the blood of the bittten people, that it will make them sick enough where they will stop changing because of their high temperature.Isabel and Grace are still thinking over if they should put the meningitis in their friends blood even though it is a week later.

Well, Grace has finaly found herself wanting to try this meningitis thing. Before the injection into Sam, she keeps telling herself that"it's O.K as long as it's forSam." After the meningitis was injected into Sam 's werewolf body he whimpers and runs away from the health clinic. After a few days and no sign of Sam, Grace gives up and tries to forget about him. Later that week, Grace keeps wanting to see Sam but almost knows he is dead. Then, while Grace was packing for her Christmas vacation trip with her best friend Rachel, Grace goes outside into the blistering cold air and finds Sam, alive, as a human, waiting for her in the depths of the woods.

=Evaluation=

__Shiver__ is a great book to read because it has adventure, mystery, shocking and surprising events, and it is very interesting. Wolves change into humans in warm weather and I thought that was very unique because usually they change into a K-9 on a full moon. To read in class, I would recommend this book to mature people. This is a great book to get excited about. Suspense leaves you hanging everywhere in the book. You've got to read Shiver!!!!!! I LOVE this book!!!!!!!!!! :)
