By the time this story is through, every reader will want their own yellow-eyed, horned-eared, ferociously loyal rougarou. An enchanting exploration of Cajun folklore and traditions in a contemporary setting, written with heart.” — Elaine Dimopoulos, author of the Milkweed Meadow series
“Starting sixth grade at a new school, Feliciana hopes to keep her Southern origins to herself. There’s only one problem: On her first day at Revere Academy, a wolflike creature from Cajun legend shows up, watching her with glowing yellow eyes. . . . But [Feliciana] discovers there’s more to the rougarou—and Boston—than she ever expected. Marsh tackles bullying, alienation, and displacement through the powerful lenses of myth and legend. . . . A magically charming debut.” — Kirkus Reviews
