title: This Is Not a Werewolf Story
author:  Sandra Evans 
description: &ldquo;This is a novel about commitments, and about mystery, and about our deepest identities&mdash;which is to say, this is a novel about love. In trying to discover who he is, Raul finds that the greatest discoveries are those of the heart, human and otherwise. It is a journey that every reader needs to go on, and how splendid to find a book that gives such companions to walk with along the way.&rdquo; (Gary Schmidt, Newbery Honor-winning author of The Wednesday Wars)<br /><br />* &ldquo;Raul&rsquo;s wry, likable voice elevates this debut, and Evans&rsquo; depictions of the shifting natures of tween friendship remain firmly grounded even as the narrative becomes more fantastical. A cut above.&rdquo; (<i>Booklist, starred review</i>)<br /><br />&ldquo;Mystery and suspense abound in Evans&rsquo;s debut novel . . . Raul is an insightful, introspective youth, and Evans weaves a compelling story from his point of view, bolstered by a strong supporting cast.&rdquo; (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>)<br /><br />&ldquo;Heartfelt, enigmatic, and ethereal, Evans&rsquo;s excellent debut novel takes readers on a roller coaster of emotion and keeps them guessing the whole way through.&rdquo; (<i>School Library Journal</i>)<br /><br />&quot;Raul&rsquo;s story of courage in the face of bullying and life-threatening danger in an easy read will appeal to readers of suspense and adventure tales.&quot; (<i>School Library Connection</i>)

  Chapter 1
  
  As my eyes shifted from the goddess standing before me to the corpse of the
  girl I loved lying at my feet, time seemed to stop. Golden ichor leaked from
  her body as my eyes traveled along the butter yellow sand to rest on the top
  half of her severed head a few feet away.
