ADVENTURE STORIES (CHILDREN'S / TEENAGE). Ordinary kids: extraordinary powers: amazing adventures. There's a lot of strange stuff going on for Dax Jones. To start with there's the mysterious letter from his dad telling Dax to go to a secret location and find something from his dead mother. Perhaps it's a clue about how he became a shapeshifter. Then there's the weirdness at school. The scientists are up to something, but Dax is sworn to secrecy-he can't even tell his best mate. So when his classmates are suddenly taken away 'for their own safety', Dax's fox senses tell him all is not as it seems. If Dax continues with his quest to find out more about his mother he could be leaving his friends in danger. Ages 9+ Dax Jones is a shapeshifter. But where did his extraordinary powers come from? And when it comes to the choice between keeping his friends safe, or finding out the truth about himself, where will he decide his loyalties lie?
