Going Wild

In this first book in a trilogy, Lisa McMann masterfully blends science fiction, fantasy, and the animal kingdom to create this high-octane middle grade adventure-with a refreshingly heroine lead-that’s perfect for fans of Rick Riordan and Brandon Mull.

Charlie Wilde knew her life would change forever when her family moved from Chicago to hot, boring Arizona-and that was before she found the bracelet.

After putting it on, Charlie notices odd things happening. She’s suddenly able to run across the soccer field as fast as a cheetah, lift heavy objects as if she were as strong as an elephant, and that’s just the beginning. Of course, Charlie would be thrilled about her amazing abilities if she had any idea how to control them. So she must put her trust in new friends to help figure out what’s happening to her and uncover the surprising truth behind the mysterious bracelet.
