Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a free advanced copy of this book to read and review.

My students would very much enjoy The Pack!. There are a lot of interesting, witty characters in this book, and it avoids stereotypes fairly well. The concept was fantastic as well: animal powers in school girls = drama!

Thanks to NetGalley & Random House Children's for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.

The Pack follows Sadie who is suddenly thrown into Charm House, an exclusive private school for girls. She finds out that CHARM stands for Center for Human-Animal Reform and Manners, and every student & teacher at this school has an animal "light" residing in them. The students/teachers have animal characteristics that make it difficult to blend in with the "Typicals" or regular humans. What animal is Sadie?

This story will definitely appeal to those who like the "Ever After High" series, a school fantasy setting with a little bit of mystery. There's a lot of dialogue in the story which makes it easy to follow. Not to mention, everyone's hilarious and unique in their own ways and it's really fun seeing their animal characteristics come to light.

I bet if I was in this book I'd get something weird like a sloth, lol. Great story for middle grade!
