BOOK REVIEW: The Shapeshifter- Finding The fox (Ali Sparkes)

Book: Finding The Fox

Author: Ali Sparkes

Rating : 6.5/10




Dax Jones lives a fairly boring and miserable life with his sister and step -mum Gina, His dad works away on the Oil Rigs in the north sea and Gina is constantly being mean and spiteful. Locking him outside for hours on end because of his "attitude".


But then things change, One hot afternoon he gets locked in the garden shed and panics. He can't get out and he's half choking as he passes out.


Then he wakes up. He's orange,furry and has a tail, Dax has turned into a Fox!


The next day he finds a pair of bullies beating up his nerdy friend Clive. In rage he attacks the bullies and suddenly he's a fox again and bites and scratches them til they run away.


Dax's life has become really weird. He arrives home and finds a man talking to Gina about how he is a genius and is being offered a place in a school of the gifted. Owen couldn't possibly know about the fox thing could he?


Yet something in his gaze tells Dax he does.


Now Dax is part of the Cola Club, a school for kids with strange powers and is having the time of his life. But when a reporter threatens to expose him, Dax and his friends are in a lot of danger. But is the reporter a big a problem as some believe? and who can Dax trust  in a school of supernatural abilities.


Read the books to have a very easy and enjoyable read.








This book is a great introduction to the series. Not entirely gripping the whole way through but it sets the scene very well and will make you want to read even more. I'd say aimed more at kids but I think anyone could enjoy it .


Hope you found this review helpful,
