The Shapeshifter is an exciting series of books written by Ali Sparkes. These stories follow the adventures of a boy named Dax Jones. Most of the action happens in England, first in the beautiful Cornwall area and later in the Lake District.
In the first book, Finding the Fox, Dax makes an amazing discovery. He learns he can change his shape and turn into a fox! After this, the government quickly takes him away from his stepfamily. Dax is not alone; he is one of many young people with special powers. These kids are called COLAs, which stands for Children of Limitless Ability. Some of his classmates have incredible gifts. They can heal others, move objects with their minds, talk to people who have passed away, or even see into the future. These special children go to a school called Tregarren College in Cornwall. Later, the school is destroyed by a huge tidal wave. The students then move to a new place called Fenton Lodge, located in the Lake District.
