Wolf Rider

My daughter had to read this book over the Summer vacation for school and she finished it within three days. She said it was a good read

My daughter needed for a book report

This is a great YA novel. It grabs your attention from page one and keeps it until the end. My classes love it.

I wanted to really like this, but the dialogue drives me crazy.it was lackluster at best. The idea for the plot is okay, but we never really learn all the answers about "Zeke" and his motive.

Awesome! Students love the book and are hoping for a sequel. They love Avi and many of his books. Thanks.

My son loves this book, age 12

Tyler Lawrence 11/26/04Wolf Rider, Avi, ISBN 0-02-041513-3 "I just killed someone." How would you feel if someone you didn't know said that to you on the phone. Would you take it as some sick joke and hang up, or would you take it seriously and really be worried? Well that is what happened in the book Wolf Rider. Andy Zadinski, a high-school student who lives in the Madison, Wisconsin area, is at his house with a friend when he gets a phone call. The phone call is supposedly from a guy named Zeke saying that he just killed a girl named Nina Klemmer. Andy's mother had just recently died so he doesn't take this as a joke. He calls the police and they say that it was probably a joke and tell him not to worry. One day however, Andy discovers that Nina Klemmer is real and is alive. Can Andy uncover the mystery of Zeke? Read Wolf Rider to find out. This book was very good and fun to read. Avi makes it such a good book by placing many cliffhangers and putting in suspense throughout wanting to read more. The genre was realistic fiction because even though these characters aren't real, this could probably happen in real life and probably did at some point. This makes the story a whole lot easier to understand and to connect to the characters. The one character that I could connect to the most is Andy. This could happen to anyone at anytime in real life. I don't know what I'd do if someone called me and said that. It must have been really hard for Andy. I recommend this book to anyone who is the entire book. I enjoyed the genre of this book a lot. I could not stop reading it! Every time that I was about to call it quits for the day, I ended up interested in the realistic fiction genre. The age, though, is probably ages 11 and up. Younger kids might not understand fake calling and saying that they killed someone. Besides those ages, this is a book that everyone would enjoy.

The book "Wolf Rider" by Avi is about a boy named Andrew Zadinski and his mysterious call by a boy named Zeke who had just killd someone. The book contains 202 pages of entertaining suspense. It takes place around present time in a small-unrevealed town. At first Andy was convinced that the caller who had just killed a girl named Nina Klemmer was serious. Shortly after he had his best friend Paul call the police at a payphone so Andy could keep the caller named Zeke on the phone as long as possible. A few days later Andy had been at a college where his father, known as Dr. Zadinski worked. as Andy waited for his father in his office he looked through school files to see if the so-called Nina Klemmer was real. He soon learned that Nina Klemmer was real and had happened to still be alive. Andy became confused and wanted to get to the bottom of this. As I read the book I found the plot to be interesting as well as entertaining. The characters such as Andy, Zeke, Paul and Nina seemed as though they were real people and yet believably wwritten. The story consisted of wild twists and turns like around the beginning when Andy realized that Nina Klemmer had existed and still alive. After he discovered this, Andy wasn't sure what to believe. I think the book was a good story to read but it wasn't the best because it is the kind of story people have either experienced, and/or heard of. But other than that I think it is a good book for people who are in the mood to read a mystery. What I thought wasn't necessary for the story was the part where nobody did anything about the situation just because they didn't believe Andy's story. In real life if somebody were to come to the police about something like that, they'd be on that case in a matter of minutes. In conclusion I found the book to be a little easy to read because it is another typical mystery. But as I stated earlier, the book was a good story to read because it had a little suspense, a little lust and a turning point toward the end. So if young adults and older are looking for an easy mystery to solve than I'd recommend "Wolf Rider" by Avi.
