Imagine being a thirteen-year-old girl and you are suddenly changing into a huge bear in front of your best friend. This isn't easy to understand for either of you. In fact, it's downright scary as Marley and her best friend, Joel, soon discover. Marley and Joel are sent to a special school, on a secluded island, hundreds of kilometres off the north Queensland coast, where they meet more of their own kind. But not all of them are as friendly as they expect. Even worse, international enemies - with greater powers - are setting out with their own evil agenda. It soon becomes a witch-hunt and a fight to the death. How will the Adapters adapt to this new enemy? *** It was an excellent start to the Adapter Series. I was sitting on the edge of my seat, literally. Abbi McClean, 13 years old, Queensland, Australia This is now one of my favourite books. The cliff-hanger took me by surprise and I loved that.
