Student body chair and
control freak, Shiels Krane, has her life planned out. Everything changes
though, when a new student arrives at Vista View High. He’s the very first
interspecies transfer student, a pterodactyl named Pyke. Without speaking a
word, Pyke manages to cast his spell over almost everyone, but especially
Shiels (even though track star Jocelyne is officially Pyke’s girlfriend). The
best word to describe this novel is weird. There is no explanation of who Pyke
is and where he comes from, which makes his appeal a mystery. Plus he’s truly a
pterodactyl…there is no shape shifting or even speaking (on Pyke’s part). Overall,
it’s about a girl losing control and letting loose in order to find herself,
but how she gets there is nonsensical. Loren Spector, LAPL, Memorial Branch
