Popescu, Petru Birth of the Pack, 347 p. TOR, 2008.
Language - PG-13, Violence - PG
MS - ADVISABLE
Determined to start a girls' soccer team, Lily, 16, and her friends get permission, make the field and the goal posts and take themselves everywhere they need to go to play other club teams - even teams of boys. Just as their success becomes palpable, rich girl Andra comes to town and basically has her daddy buy the girls' team out from under Lily and the others. Lily is not about to give up without a fight. However, she has no idea that her fight is going to unleash supernatural forces of good and evil, forces that will change her life and her friends' lives forever.
There is enough drama on just the soccer side of this novel to keep a reader interested, but the Weregirls side is an added bonus. Be aware - girls who only love the supernatural may be put off by all the soccer talk, like my daughter was. Here's hoping that book number two is less about soccer and more about Weregirls and Breeders. Of course, you should be aware that this book is about the supernatural; there are also about 3 dozen swear words (no "f").
