Dazzlingly talented newcomer Maggie Stiefvater brings readers a powerful supernatural love story in Shiver. This chilling, beautifully crafted novel brings two teenagers together against all odds.
“Oh. My. Goodness…I got totally sucked in, took most of Sunday to read the second half, and bawled through the last fifty pages. Teenage girls are going to love this!! I’m going to pass [this] on to one my colleagues tomorrow so she and her 15-year-old daughter can read it. I’m going to include a kleenex for each of them.”
– Kathy Adams, Education Specialist, Valley Bookseller, Stillwater, MN

ABOUT THE BOOK
“It’s love at first sight for Grace and Sam but not at all in the traditional sense. Sam is a [we won't tell you here!!] and Grace is human. Perfect for fans of the TWILIGHT series!”
– Vicki Erwin, Main Street Books, Charles MO
Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf-her wolf-watches back. He feels deeply familiar but she doesn’t know why.
Sam has lived two lives. In the cold winter months, he is a wolf, keeping the silent company of his pack and keeping careful watch over the girl he loves. And then, for a short time each year when the weather is warm enough, he is human, never daring to talk to Grace… until now.
For Grace and Sam, love has always been kept at a distance. But now it cannot be denied. Sam must fight to stay human-and Grace must fight to keep him-even if it means taking on the scars of the past, the fragility of the present, and the impossibility of the future.
