Ever since the yellow-eyed wolf saved her, Grace has been fascinated with him. She watches as the wolf visits the woods behind her house every winter. But not everyone shares her view. When wolves attack a boy from her school, the town sets up a wolf hunt. And she stops them, because her wolf might be in danger. Then she finds a crumpled form in her back yard. She thinks it's a wolf, but it's a boy. A boy with her wolf's yellow eyes...

Shiver
by Maggie Stiefvater

As a small girl, Grace survived being attacked by the wolves that haunt the woods behind her parents' house. She would have been badly hurt and probably killed had not a yellow-eyed wolf come to her rescue.

Ever since then, Grace has watched the woods, trying to catch a glimpse of the animal.

But when a high school student is killed in a wolf attack, the town mobilizes and sends hunters into the woods to flush out the murderous beasts. Fearing for the safety of her special wolf, Grace stops the hunt, claiming that a friend of hers is taking photographs in the woods.

As she arrives at home, a captivating boy with eerily familiar eyes appears at her doorstep. She feels a strong bond with Sam even though she realizes that he has a terrible secret: as the temperature drops every fall, he transforms from a boy into a werewolf. Every spring, he stays in his wolf form later and later, and this may be his final season as a human.

Grace and Sam can be together only if they discover a cure for his condition. Time isn't on their side, especially when they must also deal jealous wolves and other obstacles.

Obstacles which include a student who may not have died in that wolf attack after all.
