Publisher's summary

Spider-Man meets Animorphs in this thrilling new middle grade series from Lisa McMann, New York Times best-selling author of the Unwanteds series.

Newbery Medal-winning author Katherine Applegate calls Going Wild "gripping, action-packed, and filled with humor and heart".

Charlie Wilde knew her life would change forever when her family moved from the city of Chicago to the suburbs of Arizona...and that was before she found the bracelet. After putting it on, she notices odd things start to happen. Suddenly Charlie seems to have the speed of a cheetah and the strength of an elephant - and that's just the beginning.

She would be thrilled about her transformation if she had any idea how to use the device or control her amazing powers. So Charlie is forced to put her trust in new friends to help her uncover the surprising truth behind the mysterious bracelet.

Going Wild is perfect for fans of Rick Riordan, Brandon Mull, and Ridley Pearson looking for a new twist on their middle grade adventures. This series blends science fiction with the animal kingdom, highlighting some of the incredible feats that animals can achieve, which might seem possible only in comic books but are actually completely true.

Starts off slow, but gets *much* better

So this was an awesome book, I love the readers voice and I recognize it from the Wings of Fire series, as I said, this book starts off kinda boring and slow, but l grew to love the rest. Such a cliffhanger at the end! I can’t wait to get the next one! Ps I does get a bit tense at some parts so if you are easily spooked than it’s book is not for you.

Great book for kids!

I loved this, it was an amazing book. Probably the second best book I have ever read. Amazing narrator! Would like the other two Going Wild books to be available on audible.

going wild is an understatement

will they be making the second book of this Audible as well . I would be so sad if they didn't I like this book, I'm not very much of a actual reader reader but I do love listening to audiobooks they pull you into the book and they never let you go. going wild is a book that you can get into you can get dragged all the way into the story of how Charlie is sad because she's moving away from her own home but every move is it Adventure and this adventure will lead her on an epic thrill that you will be at your seats wanting more.

Great Story

I’m not sure why everyone dislikes this book so much. I previewed it for my daughter and loved it myself. I also love how it dealt with the temptations to lash back at the bullies but how she decided to take the high road and not do that even though the bully never really improved. I think my 12yo will absolutely love it. It wasn’t super fast paced, but it still kept my interest very well. I’ll be getting the next book in the series for sure.

Really No fiction

To be honest I was disappointed by this book but like everything else it was ruined by technology if she was only special because of the bracelet and left big plot holes and involveing the bully really got on my nerves and giving everyone bracelets what is the point in every book there is something different or special about them but the girl is average.
