See all formats and editions

A nerd-turned-werewolf must call upon his untried superpowers to save his almost-girlfriend from a pack of crazed, bloodthirsty lycanthropes.

Cody Forester plans to become a doctor. Instead, he becomes a werewolf. The first time Cody shows fang and fur, his parents ship him off to podunkville to live with his black sheep uncle. His revised career choice is a social hermit. As the new kid, he makes more enemies than friends. His high school teachers label him a troublemaker. The whole town hates him.

Except for Brittany. She's beautiful, with her eyes painted black and her lips dark purple. When Brittany discovers his secret, she tries to cure him using crystals, candles, and magic potions. Cody falls head-over-tails in love, but he can never tell her. Girls like her aren't for him. He's the amazing wolf boy. Astound your family and mystify your friends.

While Cody moons over Brittany, a murderous pack of lycanthropes howls into town. They want Cody to join them. When he refuses, they kidnap Brittany and threaten to kill her at moonrise. Cody must master his untried superpowers or the girl he loves dies. Can he defeat the pack and save both their lives?

Product description

About the Author

Roxanne Smolen became enamored by werewolves after watching the movie Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein when she was a girl. The pathos of the wolfman character touched her even then. As she grew into her author shoes, the idea of a conflicted werewolf character grew as well until she knew his story had to be told. Her wolf boy series takes place in Loxahatchee, Florida, not far from her home.

"Teen Wolf" on 4 Legs

Reviewed in the United States on 7 September 2012

It even mentions the movie - though I am talking about the TV series.

I read this book in 8 straight hours - all night - kind of the way a werewolf eats meat. The Cody, the MC is just so likeable, and he really goes through A LOT during the first half of the book. I hurt for him. Hi slife gets better, though. But the book is quite humorous throughout. It's first person, and the narration is great. Someone mentioned that Ms. Smolen could really speak the way a teenaged boy would speak. Having been one once, I totally agree. It makes the book feel real (as real as any supernatural book can be). Loved the plot, the descriptive text was perfect - not too little and not too much - not every book has to be a Dickens novel. And I really liked the supporting characters - even the bad ones, whom I hoped would get eaten!

I want a sequel. My only complaint in this book is the parents. What they do to their son is just so wrong, I have to see him confront them in order to get closure. In effect, he really was raised by wolves.

A must-read

Reviewed in the United States on 12 February 2012

I just finished reading The Amazing Wolf Boy and, boy, was I impressed. Smolen manages to get into the mind of a teen-age boy in a way I wouldn't have thought possible. In a perceptive and totally engrossing way, she details his path as he discovers he is a werewolf and then comes to terms with it. And Cody's first experience with falling in love with Brittany is both realistic and beautiful.
Just as in Mindbender and Satan's Mirror, Smolen takes you on a roller coaster ride from adventure to adventure that keeps you turning pages. Even though I wanted to get to the end of the book, to see how it ended, I didn't want the ride to end. I'm looking forward to her next novel.
Even though this is classified as a young adult novel, there is plenty in here for the mature reader. I recommend it highly.

Worth the purchase and full of laughs and fun!

he Good: This book is really fun. It's quirky, it has a strong influence of southern Gothic. It's got a paranormal young adult romance between a sixteen year old guy werewolf and the Goth girl in his new hometown that he likes. So it has that crux, but it feels very different. It's done with a lot of humor, and it also follows Cody's (first person) point of view so it's more a guy take on that scenario we see a lot. It does focus on him having to hide his secret and his perspective on that. Obviously, from the book's own description, that doesn't last long, and the book then shows this supportive relationship between two social outcasts and how good they are in a healthy way for each other.

I also really enjoy the supporting casts of Brittany's grandfather, Uncle Bob, and Bob's best friend, a semi-shaman named Howard. The grandpa definitely gives me a flare of the one from The Lost Boys. In fact, you can tell there is a lot of homage and added tongue-in-cheek here from things like that film or the Harry Dresden novels. Also, I give massive props for a the action in this book as it moves well. The best part is a fight between Cody and an alligator in the middle of the novel, and it's both suspenseful and gripping.
**
The Bad - A few things didn't work for me. For one, I feel like Cody's in the dark too much about his uncle or conveniently forgets things that he has recently learned and would help him figure out things about his guardian and the murders in town. I think Cody's set up as a very smart kid but sometimes acts dumber in order to forward the plot. Also, I think the audience knows very early on what is going on with with Uncle Bob and exactly what he is. I think it was about 3/4ths into the book before a big reveal about Uncle Bob, and it's just not that dramatic because his secret is easily guessable.

I also think the book has a bit of "held back for the sequel" syndrome. The main plot ends satisfactorily, no doubt, and the resolution is solid for what has happened over the course of the novel. However, I feel the denouement was a bit rushed and that some things about Howard that were hints dropped early on ended up going nowhere by this novel's end. I assume in the next installment, that will be different, but a bit more completion there would have been nice.
**
The Verdict - I am giving this **** or FOUR STARS.

It's a great read. It starts off with a bang and never lets up with pacing. The characters and setting are memorable, the dialog funny, and Cody earthy and remarkably likable. I'd buy it in paperback if I found it at my local aisles and such. Still, the issues with Cody sometimes acting a bit too dense, the not-too-subtle-foreshadowing about Uncle Bob, and the loose ends still prevent me from giving it a five. It's very well done, and a must read though if you like paranormal romance but want something a bit different or if you love werewolves.

This was a good read, IMO.

Reviewed in the United States on 1 November 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a reasonably vivid book, whose author uses not only conversation and visual descriptions to take us into its world, but good descriptions of smells and the physical sensations experienced by the protagonist. I got annoyed that the adult characters didn't communicate well with him about crucial information, and there was one detail, one sentence that jolted me out of the fun reading ride I was having, but other than that, I found no fault with the book or its author, and I would recommend this book as a fun read for kids in junior high.

When I run into an author I like as a person, I'll buy one book to try out, and if I like it, I'll buy more. I will definitely be buying more by Smolen.

A Fun Adventure!

My husband told me that I had to read this book. I didn't want to read a book about a werewolf--I am tired of werewolves and vampires. But, I gave in, bought the e-book and dove in. I was hooked from the very beginning and everyday I couldn't wait to get back to it. I enjoyed getting to know all of the characters and the story just seems so original and fresh. I was shocked when it was over---I want it to keep going! I hope Roxanne Smolen is writing a sequel!
