About this listen

Dax Jones is an ordinary schoolboy ...until something extraordinary happens one day. Whilst frightened for his life, he inexplicably changes into a fox! Before long, both a government agent and an ambitious young journalist are on his tail. The agent tells him that he is one of several children with special powers and he's been offered a place at a secret government school where he can develop, and learn to control, these powers. If Dax accepts, on no account can he tell anybody, especially not the journalist. Dax jumps at the chance of attending the boarding school. His home life is unhappy and he would do anything to escape it. And when he gets to the school, he is amazed to find himself amongst kids with all sorts of talents, from the ability to levitate to the ability to move things using only the mind. Dax immediately feels at home. But first the journalist tracks him down. And then he begins to wonder who exactly is behind the school, and what they want from the pupils there. Suddenly Dax's fox senses are on high alert....

A gripping and exciting tale

I loved this book. It’s a gripping and exciting tale. I was totally convinced by the shapeshifting power of Dax. The rich and vivid description of the the boy’s surroundings, and his feelings as a boy and a fox bring the story to life. I felt myself rummaging through the bins and running through the woods with him!

Ali Sparkes is such a good author

I first listened to her shapeshifter series and absolutely loved it, and moved on to her other books, she has a similar sort of style when it comes to her books, lots of action, mystery and really good. Another series I definitely recommend by her is her night speaker series, this has so much action and a similar style to this, kids with superpowers and all that, definitely recommend it.

Fantastic series

My son and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the Shapeshifter series, he enjoyed it so much that he is now listening to them all again as audio books. Wonderfully written with great characterisation and a compelling plot and with moments of very funny humour and genuinely scary bits. Excellent

This is the best book of all time!!🥹

For starters, I love the Shapeshift series when I was nine I read this book probably 37 times. I loved it so much. I love how Dax turns into fox and talks about how difficult his life can be Sometimes.😮‍💨I love all the other books but I would say above all of them this was the best of them!😁 A shame that finding the fox and running the risk had actually a good narrator.😞😤 No offence but the other books with the different narrator was a bit weird…🤔🤨 Anyways, I recommend this to anyone!😆 Im 15 and I still love it!😀 I’ve heard adults and children love it so you should read it to!! highly recommended five stars!!!!🥹😆 byeee!!!
