Living with her erratic mother has always been a struggle for seventeen-year-old Margot. Though she loves her mother, she tries to be the exact opposite of her flighty and disorganized parent. When they move to Northern Michigan near a grandmother and uncle she’s never known, her mother’s depression begins to border on crazy, which makes Margot crazy. Her escape comes in the form of a boy named Ethan. At first, he’s just looking for a new girlfriend—someone different from all the girls he’s dated in their small town—and Margot’s just interested in the distraction he provides. But within weeks, against her mother’s rule about not dating, Margot’s comparing the need to breathe with Ethan. Then between a killer wolf in the woods and her grandmother’s revelations about their family, she’s pushing Ethan away. Because if the unbelievable is true, Margot will become that wolf in the woods.Appropriate for grade nine and up.
