Howlingly Good
“The Amazing Wolf Boy” is an exciting and impressively-constructed werewolf tale for teenagers, a kind of supernatural, coming-of-age tale in other words. I especially recommend this one for fans of underdogs (wolves?). Originally published in 2011 but only now made available as an audiobook, this smart, suspenseful young adult novel has proved that it has real staying power. “Wolf Boy” is just the first in a series of four novels following the adventures of its titular hero, Cody “just-your-average-teen” Forrester and his smart and sexy girlfriend, Brittany. Currently, all four Cody & Brittany adventures are available as a box set, but so far only this one is available as an audiobook. The story is bolstered by the choice of narrators, longtime theater veteran, Danny Randerson, who hits all the right notes and turns in an outstanding performance.
Other than a few “bad words,” I see nothing preventing me from recommending this book for long, family road trips. The young-romance elements, for example, are heartwarmingly cute and charming rather than dripping with saccharine or, worse, edging into uncomfortable vulgarity. The book does contain violence, but the vast majority is of the comic book variety, exciting and colorfully rendered, but unlikely to traumatize teenage listeners. Still, as the story progresses, be prepared for a bit more realistic portrayals, but such scenes, I would argue, are dramatically necessary and lend unexpected gravity to the proceedings.
Ultimately, the tone of the novel may be somewhat grittier than one might expect from children’s literature. Readers may be reminded of Robert Cormier’s “The Chocolate War” and the way it exposes the ugliness of high school bullying. Steven Gould’s original “Jumper” novel, about an underdog who gains extraordinary powers, might also come to mind. Yet, “Wolf Boy” departs from such direct comparisons in the long run by depicting young characters who are less abandoned, more empowered, and as a result, less fragile. As the new kid in a small-town high school, Cody struggles with considerable challenges and obstacles, and here the book shines, allowing readers to experience the vicarious thrill of unleashing super strength and dexterity upon heartless bullies. In this way, the novel practically vibrates with the delicious intensity of wish-fulfillment, yet it avoids devolving into an unchecked revenge fantasy as Cody learns the value of taking the high road. This line between reckless revenge and wise restraint is a thin one, but somehow author Roxanne Smolen manages to make walking it look easy.
If this is your first encounter with the author’s work, it may interest you to know that her background is fairly inspiring, and she has had to overcome quite a few substantial obstacles in life, including physical setbacks that would cause many to give up. Smolen has persevered, however, and this goes a long way towards explaining the wisdom and joy inherent in her books.

Freakiness in Florida
A sympathetic protagonist & sweet love story make this YA Fantasy shine.
Source: I received this book for free from the author. My opinions are my own.
BOOK DETAILS:
The Amazing Wolf Boy by Roxanne Smolen, read by Danny Randerson, published 2016 / Length: 10 hrs 13 min
SERIES INFO:
This is Book #1 of 4 in the "Amazing Wolf Boy" series. So far it is the only one on audio.
SUMMARY:
Although there were a number of things I didn't like in this book (it starts off with one of my most disliked tropes, see below), I was nevertheless drawn in from the beginning and really enjoyed it. It was well written, with characters I liked, and I especially enjoyed the realistic progression of the teenage romance. I am looking forward to when the next book becomes available on audio.
CHARACTERS:
Cody: He is a good kid (he even looks away when Brittany's skirt rides up). But he isn't perfect; for example, he had occasionally sent new students at his old school to the wrong place as a prank.
I wish that the book hadn't gone the too typical route of given him special abilities that few/no other werewolves have. I think I would have been OK with it, if it had been pointed out that he could only do these things because nobody told him he couldn't (i.e. a result of him being kept in the dark so long).
Brittany: She leans towards goth in her clothing, but without the stereotypical (in fiction at least) interest in dark kinds of things. Her New Age interests seem to be firmly in a positive vein.
I liked her family. Her single mother has to work 2 jobs, but does her best to be sure her kids have a good dinner and "family time."
Cody & Brittany: Their relationship begins with a very real world sort of InstaLove. The kind were a guy sees a girl and is instantly intrigued & seeks out opportunities to be closer to her and get to know her better. From there things proceed very much like real relationships I actually witnessed in High School. There is also mention that wolves mate for life, and his being sure she is his mate, but it isn't presented as a mystical bond they have no choice about.
--
I could have done without the jocks = bullies characters. But, I really like that the gym/football coach is one of the people who are nice to him, and that he see's his players clearly and is willing to do the right thing. / I would have liked a few more females in larger roles.
WORLDBUILDING:
The book takes place in small town Florida. Shifters are real (obviously), but no other supernatural creatures are mentioned. One of the main side characters is Native American, and there are a couple of sections that discuss their remedies & beliefs. I don't know how accurate they are. There are also sections regarding New Age & tarot subjects that were consistent with what I've read in other books.
PLOT:
The beginning was particularly well done. I was able to immediately connect emotionally with his horror at what was happening to him. And the descriptions of all the sensory input was good.
The secrets were drawn out way too long, however. Since they were obvious to the reader, it made it extra frustrating.
There was a complete ending with no major threads left dangling.
HIGHLIGHTS:
--Brittany's opinion on tattoos
--The Valentine's Day dinner
--The scene where he is very upset and the unknown other wolf flips him a fish.
I COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT: Parents who keep secrets, fail to prepare their child for potential life altering changes, and emotionally abandon said child. (I've actually written a post on how much I dislike this trope.) / A really brutal bullying scene involving a severe assault / The nudist colony and everything involved with it. / The constant repetition of Brittany's nickname for her brother, it ceased being funny really quickly on audio.
CONTENT NOTES(?): This is a book about a teenage boy in love. There are a couple of comments about the fact that his body responds to her, but they are all very tastefully done. / Werewolves returning to human shape are naked, which leads to some awkwardness.
NARRATION:
Character voices differentiated = Yes / Opposite sex voices acceptable = Yes, not very feminine but not fakey / Accents = Good. I have no idea how authentic they were though. / Phrasing, Pacing & Pronunciation = Good. / Emoting = Good. I like the way he avoided going over the top yet still captured what Cody was feeling. / Speed = Slow. I listened on 1.5, rather than my usual 1.25 (although that was a touch fast)

When the book ended I was left in story for hours
If you could sum up The Amazing Wolf Boy in three words, what would they be?
Wow so well written from the stand point of a teen aged boy as well as a new young wolf.
What does Danny Randerson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The reading was so smooth, I was able to get engrossed in the book without realizing someone else was involved, and I love narrators that can let the book shine as it is.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed a lot during this book, having just raised teen boys it was so reflective of the way I have seen them trip over their tongues as well as their big feet. And the scene where he is getting ready to go to his girl friends for Easter dinner could not have been funnier especially when he tried on his clothes.
Any additional comments?
I can not thank the author and narrator enough for the ability to enjoy this book, listening to my books is such an important part of my life these days.

Didn't want to stop listening
This is listed as a young adult novel, but I (a 72-year-old) enjoyed it thoroughly. The story of Cody, whose life seems to be ruined when he discovers he's a werewolf at the age of sixteen, is full of twists and surprises, yet it flows smoothly. The action is fast-paced and the characters, including the minor ones of Grandpa Earl and Ef the jock, are well-rounded and believable. Cody and Brittany are sympathetic and realistic teenagers. Smolen makes their paranormal adventures seem real. Danny Randerson's reading is also excellent. He uses different accents, intonations and timbres to make the characters come to life. I started listening to it in my car and didn't want the drive to end because I'd have to pause the book until I got inside. Highly recommended.

Excellent YA/teen paranormal story
This was by far my favorite werewolf story! Cody is just a regular nerdy teen that gets some unexpected surprises in his boring picture perfect life!
Narration was excellent as brought the story to life. I love all the different voices and it flowed well and made it easy to figure out who was talking.
The story was told in Cody’s POV. I really enjoy how well paced the story was. There was just the right amount of suspense, danger, romance, and action. There was a good twist towards the end and the story wrapped up nicely. Although, I could have listen for another 10 hours! It was that good!
I’m really looking forward to the next book in this awesome series!

Not the usual werewolf story
This was an excellent listen. The pace was steady and the narration was perfect. It was a different take on the standard werewolf story, a little funny, a little sad and with enough danger to keep it interesting.

Good with caveats
This was a very entertaining, non-horror werewolf story. I'm not much for YA novels, but my young son and I have a sort of habit of watching werewolf movies and listening to werewolf audiobooks during nights of the full moon. It's something fun that we can do together. I thought this series might be a good stand in, and it definitely was. I was drawn into the story from the beginning, and enjoyed the progression throughout.
My only qualms about it were basically the same as another review called Got My Book mentioned: the parenting was terrible, and would have been more happier without the brutal bullying scene and the nudist colony. I also felt uncomfortable with some of the sexual content, and did have to skip through a few parts while listening with my son.
All in all, however, this was a very good listen. The narration was top notch.
I received this audiobook for free at my request from the author, publisher or narrator and have voluntarily left this review.

Fabulous story!
This story is imaginative and extremely well written. I was hooked from the beginning and couldn’t stop listening. This is a shifter book that has excitement, intrigue, mystery, murder, suspense, and a little romance.It’s definitely a must listen. I enjoyed the story immensely and very much recommend.
The narrator does a very good job With the characters and the voices of the characters making it easy to distinguish between them. This narrator has my attention and is going to be add to my favorites list.
