Young Adult Fantasy
Date Published: November 2012
When a drug surfaces in town that turns teens into the mythological creature of the chupacabra, David
Copperfield Finkleman is called in to help. Why? Because David possesses a rare gift. He is a true blue, magic out of the fingertips, potions and spells, wizard. Well, that and because his grandfather is the lead investigator on the case and the drug is circulating in David's own high school. David is thrust into a world of danger and monsters he never knew existed, all the while living his normal daily life. He learns that he will have to save the very bullies who torment him in school and the chemistry teacher who wants nothing more than to flunk him. Adding to his problems, he deals with girl troubles, a boss who doesn't appreciate his sarcasm, and saving an agent's life before it's too late...no pressure!
My Review:
Oh, I wish the cover of this was a bit different. I'm picky when it comes to covers though and this one just didn't pull me in when I saw it, but I am oh so glad I read it!
I think the authors did an amazing job of keeping this one light and fun while dealing with the darker elements. Nothing felt too overly serious and it definitely reads for the younger teens, but myself being in my twenties, I enjoyed it a lot as well.
I liked the mystery throughout, it gave another layer to the story as a whole. Definitely a quick read, but well worth the time!
"There’s no going back either. Once they’re changed, they’ll be changed forever."
