My First Post On Shiver By Maggie Stiefvater


I have read to about Chapter twenty-five. So far in the book a boy named Jack has gotten killed from a wolf. Grace, the protagonist, has always had a close relationship with the wolves expectially the one with the yellow eyes also known as "her wolf." Grace one day tries to stop these hunters from killing the wolves, they do eventually stop the hunting trip. When she gets home she finds a wolf in human form on her back porch, he had been shot. when she looks into his eyes she sees it is her wolf and she takes him to the hospital. They start talking, she finds out his name is Sam and he is only in human form when its warm out, but as he gets older he will eventually stop turning human. Sam starts to stay with her at her house Grace's parents don't notice him there cause they are never home. Grace starts to miss school, on the day that she missed school a wolf showed up to the school and mad a scene. Sam said it was Jack. Jack turned into a wolf when they "killed" him. Sam goes and tries and finds Jack so he doesn't do anymore stupid stuff. 

I so far love this book cause i'm getting both Grace and Sam's thoughts, but mostly Grace's thoughts.


Maybe Maggie S. wrote this book because she likes wolves. I think this is her motivation because the book is based off of wolves.


The theme of the book is based on love. The author wants us to see the love connection and growth between Grace and Sam, and the struggle it will be for Sam to stay human. 

The best character in the book is Grace, because I read more about he opinions and thoughts. She has not really changed he thoughts yet.

"'I think of the way you smell.' I said, truthfully. I reached over and lifted a few strands of her hair to my nose." This is important because it shows that same still has some wolf traits when hes in his human form.

Why do Graces parents not pay attention to her? They one time didn't check up on her at all for three days.
