FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. The year is 1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan rule the world. To commemorate their Great Victory over Britain and Russia, Hitler and Emperor Hirohito host the Axis Tour: an annual motorcycle race across their conjoined continents. The victor is awarded an audience with the highly reclusive Adolf Hitler at the Victor's ball. Yael, who escaped from a death camp, has one goal: Win the race and kill Hitler. A survivor of painful human experimentation, Yael has the power to skinshift and must complete her mission by impersonating last year's only female victor, Adele Wolfe. This deception becomes more difficult when Felix, Adele twin's brother, and Luka, her former love interest, enter the race and watch Yael's every move. But as Yael begins to get closer to the other competitors, can she bring herself to be as ruthless as she needs to be to avoid discovery and complete her mission?

Amazing speculative story...

23 April 2016

Format: Kindle Edition

A speculative world where Germany won World War II, Wolf by Wolf, follows the story of Yael who has been tasked with the responsibility of killing Hitler. To do this, she must ‘shift’ into the guise of Adele Wolfe, the only female Victor of the Axis Tour, and win.

This book is amazing. I was enthralled from start to finish. Ryan Graudin has crafted an amazing world of dark intrigue and surveillance. The tension is palpable and you find yourself holding your breath on a number of occasions as you join Yael on her mission.

Yael is a likable character. She is as strong as she is haunted, and her focus is clear. Unlike a lot of other YA novels, her mind is on the task and romance is a far thought. With her strength comes fragility, and in this fragility is where we bond with her.

Our supporting characters are well realised. They are liked and loathed in equal measure (as they should). The presence of the Axis Powers is strong and foreboding. It permeates each page.

The action of the Tour is also an added excitement, and a strong metaphor for Yael’s task at hand. There are setbacks, disasters, and victories. The road is where allies and enemies will be tested, and these are captured strongly within the novel.

A strong start to the Wolf by Wolf series, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for something different in the YA genre.

Loved It!

14 November 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

I had started the author's previous book, The Walled City, earlier this year and while I liked it, I was either too distracted by life or other books to give it all my time. One thing is for sure, it did not grip me the way Wolf by Wolf did. I had set it aside with the intention of returning to it later when I saw this new title, (I love the cover!), recognized the author's name and decided to give this book a try. I am so glad I did. I was rooting for Yael from the very beginning. The horrors inflicted on her as a child in the experimentation labs of a Reich doctor, the loss of her family, the loss of her self and her personal identity were all too awful to imagine.

But Yael survives, escapes her captors and begins to forge a new life, not at first telling her adopted "family" about her newly acquired talent of taking on faces at will, skin shifting. When the time comes she is a willing part of a plan to take down the Furher and destroy the Reich forever. Her way forward is the axis cycling race, a race comprising of the youth of Japan and Germany racing across parts of Europe, Africa and finally culminating in Tokyo. Of course, she can't enter as herself, she is an unknown and that will expose her to too much scrutiny so she decides to take on the face of the only past female racer, Adele Wolfe. But life is never easy and Yael is about to embark on an adventure complicated by wearing the skin of another.

The descriptions of the race were really exciting to read. The whole thing kind of reminded me of the Tour de France. I never really knew I could care about bikes, racing terminology, feats of human endurance and strength but the author made me change my mind. At every stop, every mishap, every act of sabotage, my heart was in my throat as I cheered Yael on. Would she succeed, would she make it to the finish line, would all the deceptions and compromises she has made so far be worth it?

I loved this book, from start to finish. I loved the writing, the characters, the setting, the descriptions of the different food items at the different stops, even the excruciating nature of the race was thrilling and exciting. I loved that Yael was a character who embodied weakness even in her strength. She is in an impossible situation impersonating another person. She has the face of Adele and with that, the burdens of Adele's past relationships and mistakes. Many times she is confronted with the expectation of how she is supposed to behave as Adele, how she is supposed to react as Adele and the consequences of Adele's sins. But through it all, she manages to finagle herself out of situations in believable ways.

Though we never get to know too much about the supporting cast of characters, they add much to the story and show us more about Yael. My favorite supporting character was Luka who you never know if you should trust him or plan his murder. He is cunning, smart and hilarious.

I can't wait to read the sequel!

Fascinating Exploration of Alternate History

27 March 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Ryan Graudin’s Wolf By Wolf is a daring reimagining of our world’s history. In this alternate universe, Hitler and his allies have successfully conquered much of Europe and Asia, as well as the northern portion of Africa. The rest of the world has buckled under pressure, choosing peace over war, agreeing to a truce with the notorious leader. Those opposed to the New Order have been forced underground, working in secret, biding their time. With the annual Axis Tour, a motorcycle race that spans continents, soon underway, the resistance is ready to make its move and at the center of their plan is Yael. As a child Yael and her mother were imprisoned at a death camp, where she was subjected to various scientific experiments. The goal behind these experiments: to find a way to perfect the Aryan race by suppressing the melanin in a person’s system, thereby controlling their hair, eye, and skin color. Unbeknownst to the doctor in charge of these speculative trials, Yael developed the ability to “skinshift,” to alter her own appearance into the likes of another.

As Yael begins her mission, to impersonate former Axis Tour Victor Adele Wolfe, her resolve to take down Hitler is stronger than ever. Yael has lost everyone important to her and has been stripped of her own identity through the experimentation she endured as a child. Though she is full of anger and retribution, she recognizes that this mission’s success has the potential to become a catalyst, a spark that will signal a revolution that could give way to a better future for the world. She knows how much depends on her being able to masquerade as someone else. This scheme puts in her in a precarious situation, where every word, look, or action threatens to expose her. This is made even more dangerous by the presence of Adele Wolfe’s twin brother Felix and former competitor Luka Löwe. Both know more about Adele than Yael, and both challenge her view of what she has learned on paper about each. Yael is a determined character, but what sets her apart is, despite the injustices done to her, there remains a part of her who refuses to become like those she hates.

Wolf By Wolf is as terrifying as it is fascinating. Graudin’s world explores crimes by Nazi Germany that are rarely explored: human experimentation, as well as envisioning a different history that is frightening in its plausibility. Graudin’s novel is heartbreaking, thrilling, and near perfect in execution, whose impact will be felt long after finishing.
