A thrilling debut in the tradition of Rick Riordan and Brandon Mull
about a boy who discovers he's part of a secret race of animal
shape-shifters.
Twelve-year-old Simon Thorn's life has never been easy or normal, but
things like being bullied at school and living in a cramped Manhattan
apartment with his uncle Darryl are nothing compared to his biggest
secret: he can talk to animals. But when his mom is suddenly kidnapped
by a herd of rats, Simon finds out that he, his mom, and his uncle are
all Animalgams - people born with the ability to change into animals at
will.
In search of his mum, Simon discovers the Animalgam Academy based at the
Central Park Zoo. There he learns about the fractured five kingdoms -
Mammals, Birds, Insects, Reptiles, and Underwater - that make up this
secret world...and realises he may be the only one who can save it.
This action-packed audiobook is filled with themes of bravery, loyalty,
and finding one's true self and is perfect for fans of the Spirit
Animals and The School of Good and Evil series.
