I got this book in October and was very pleased when I read it. I was looking for something that my granddaughter might enjoy, that wasn't filled with things inappropriate for someone her age. When the 13-year-old came to visit, she got to enjoy this book as well. The best aspects, from my viewpoint, were the way the emotions of the 15-year-old Juli were presented. You could feel her pain and loneliness, as well as her desire to fit in and be accepted. Running track was more than just participating in a sport, it was a natural outlet for her shape-shifting jaguar energy. I thought the author handled her shifting and coming-of-age very well. This book also handles the subject of bullying very well. Altogether, a delightful read. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a paranormal story, and a definite best read for a tween or young teen.
