Good, the cover of the German edition was not really mine. I am no fan of sharks, but on the other hand, I didn´t have to see that very often with my nose stuck in the book. And it does not harm the fact that the story was a pure reading pleasure and literally an overnight read. Again, the author has managed it to show a world where not everything is as it seems and where rules are to obey.

Simon Thorn has only recently discovered that he´s an Animalgam, a member of a secret race of people who can shift into animals and found a home where he truly belongs. But not everything is as good as it seems. Simon´s evil grandfather, Orion, is bent on taking over the entire animal kingdom, and to do so, he´ll need to gather the pieces of a terrible weapon – one that could shred the very foundations of the Animalgam´s world … unless Simon can gather the pieces first. So, when Simon´s dolphin Animalgam friend Jam is summoned home to the underwater kingdom´s headquarters, Avalon, Simon sees it as an opportunity to secure another piece. But as soon as he and his friends arrive in Avalon, their search is complicated by Jam´s strict family – and a potential traitor. Can they locate the piece before it falls into Orion´s hands and puts the entire underwater kingdom at risk?
