Simon Thorn and the Wolf’s Den (2016) introduces a boy who has always been able to talk to animals and thinks he’s the only one. He’s not. Simon discovers the Animalgams, a hidden society of people who can transform into animals, divided into five rival kingdoms. The books follow Simon as he learns to navigate this world while dealing with threats to both human and animal societies.
Aimee Carter aimed the series at middle grade readers, and the premise is built for that audience: animal shapeshifting, secret schools, and a kid discovering he’s special. The series ran for three books, with adventures involving wolves, vipers, and sharks across the trilogy.
