"For the past six months, something has been happening to teens in Santa Feliz. Seventeen-year-old Josh Saunders has seen the news reports, but he is still unprepared when it happens to him. One minute he''s arguing with his mother''s boyfriend and the next, he''s looming over the man, blood dripping from his claws--he has transformed into a mountain lion. When Josh switches back to his human body, he knows his life has changed forever. He has become a wildling. Pursued by both government authorities and criminal factions, wildlings must hide their newfound abilities to avoid being locked up for study and experimentation. When an accidental betrayal reveals Josh''s secret, his carefully constructed cover is ripped apart, forcing his friends to intervene. They must grudgingly put their trust in other wildlings--and, most challenging, each other--if they ever hope to save him." -- Author''s website.

The heart-pounding conclusion to the thrilling Wildlings trilogy. At the end of Over My Head, Josh has propelled himself into the Otherworld where he believes his former girlfriend Elzie is in imminent danger. He leaves behind his closest friends: Marina, whose fledgling romance with Theo is increasingly complicated by her undeniable feelings for Josh, and Des, who is trying to figure out his own role amongst his Wildling friends. In this unpredictable world a side-step from our own, Josh discovers more about the awesome power he holds within as he deals with hostility from certain animal clans and elders. Back in Santa Feliz his friends are facing a huge anti-Wildling rally that threatens all Wildling teens with segregation and incarceration. In the most tense and perilous of circumstances in both worlds, Josh and his friends must rely on each other''s love, ingenuity and loyalty just to survive. "Charles de Lint writes like a magician. He draws out the strange inside our own world, weaving stories that feel more real than we are when we read them. He is, simply put, the best." - Holly Black "Charles de Lint''s greatest strength...is his obvious love for his characters, and empathy for people generally. ...he is showing us people living up to their potential, rather than down to it. And that is what makes de Lint''s books rewarding." - Locus Magazine "De Lint''s evocative images, both ordinary and fantastic, jolt the imagination." - Publishers Weekly "Unlike most fantasy writers who deal with battles between ultimate good and evil, de Lint concentrates on smaller, very personal conflicts. Perhaps this is what makes him accessible to the non-fantasy audience as well as the hard-core fans. Perhaps it''s just damned fine writing." - Quill & Quire
