Summary: Entertaining!
Review: The book "Wolf Rider" by Avi is about a boy named Andrew Zadinski and his mysterious call by a boy named Zeke who had just killd someone. The book contains 202 pages of entertaining suspense. It takes place around present time in a small-unrevealed town.
At first Andy was convinced that the caller who had just killed a girl named Nina Klemmer was serious. Shortly after he had his best friend Paul call the police at a payphone so Andy could keep the caller named Zeke on the phone as long as possible. A few days later Andy had been at a college where his father, known as Dr. Zadinski worked. as Andy waited for his father in his office he looked through school files to see if the so-called Nina Klemmer was real. He soon learned that Nina Klemmer was real and had happened to still be alive. Andy became confused and wanted to get to the bottom of this.
As I read the book I found the plot to be interesting as well as entertaining. The characters such as Andy, Zeke, Paul and Nina seemed as though they were real people and yet believably wwritten. The story consisted of wild twists and turns like around the beginning when Andy realized that Nina Klemmer had existed and still alive. After he discovered this, Andy wasn't sure what to believe.
I think the book was a good story to read but it wasn't the best because it is the kind of story people have either experienced, and/or heard of. But other than that I think it is a good book for people who are in the mood to read a mystery.
What I thought wasn't necessary for the story was the part where nobody did anything about the situation just because they didn't believe Andy's story. In real life if somebody were to come to the police about something like that, they'd be on that case in a matter of minutes.
In conclusion I found the book to be a little easy to read because it is another typical mystery. But as I stated earlier, the book was a good story to read because it had a little suspense, a little lust and a turning point toward the end.
So if young adults and older are looking for an easy mystery to solve than I'd recommend "Wolf Rider" by Avi.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wolf Rider
Review: Wolf Rider is a very interesting and suspenseful story. Andy is a normal kid with all of a sudden a phone rings and the voice replies "I just killed some". It has a exciting beginning and a great plot. The only thing I did not understand in the book was the last line which is "As Dr. Zadinski left the airport termial, he dropped his cufflink into the trash barrel. It was wet with tears". I didn't understand if Dr.Z was sad for Andy or Dr.Lucus.

Summary: One of the best ever!!!
Review: Andy Zadinski answered the phone when it rang. "I just killed someone" a mysterious person said. Andy thinks that the call is real and he thinks someone is in serious danger, but no one believes him. Some people think that he is crying "wolf". So Andy decides to investigate and he find out something startling. I absolutly loved this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat every time I read the book. It is a great "who-done-it" book. I recommend this book to everybody, no matter how old or young you are.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wolf Rider
Review: The book Wolf Rider by Avi is a very interesting mystery book. There is some violence, but it is still very good. The main character is a boy named Andy who cares about everybody.
When he gets a call from a murderer, he tries to find out if what they said was true. Andy doesn't get any help from anyone because nobody believes him. If you want to know if he finds out the truth, read this book and find out.

Summary: Wlofrider
Review: What if one day you were relaxing at home and the kitchen phone rang and a person said, "I just killed someone," and when you go to tell people, no one believes you? Well... this has happened to a kid named Andy Zadinski in the novel Wolfrider. Andy is convinced that the call is real, but there is one problem, no one in town believes him, not even his father. When he goes to tell the school counselor, she explains the story of the boy who cried wolf. Then when he goes to explain the phone call to his Dad, he said that someone was playing a joke on him. The police tell him the same thing. One other main reason Andy does not think death is not a joke is because his mother had just died recently, and Andy took her death pretty badly. Since no one believes Andy, he decides to go on an investigation of his own, but he soon finds out that he has got himself into something deeper that he had anticipated.

In the book Wolfrider Andy shows us to believe what we want to and to never give up on what we believe in. In Wolfrider this theme runs throughout the story. Andy received a phone call that he believes is authentic, but no one will believe him. In the scene where Andy told his Dad about the phone call, the dad said, "Sounds like a sick joke." Andy said, "I believed it." In the example it shows that Andy believes the phone call is not a joke, but Andy receives the same response from everyone else he tries to let know about the phone call. So he decides to continue his investigation on his own. Soon he finds out that the phone call was false, but the killer has a plan to kill Nina. If Andy had never given up on his investigation he would not be able to protect Nina.

I recommend this book to middle-aged readers, between the ages of 12- 14. I recommend this book to this reading group because I feel that the book setting and plot are a little confusing for any one younger. Also, the way the book is written, a person would probably imagine blood and gore. I also believe that if a younger person reads this book he or she might get scared. For example, when Andy was in the middle of the phone call with Zeke, Zeke tells Andy that he has the body right in front of him. "The man who said he was Zeke could see the body in front of him." Also, I think that you need a good remembrance of details in the beginning of the book to the end of the book. In the phone call Zeke said Nina had a car. "She has a car. A red Ford. An Escort. I don't have a car." At the end of the book he had seen Nina and her red Ford Escort at the park. I really enjoyed reading this book. In conclusion if you like murder plus a mystery, this is the book for you. Read this book.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: Wolf Rider was one of my favorit books ever. It had real like problems and also a problem not so many kids will have.
When some one calls Andy and tells him that htey have killed some one, Andy believes the call is for real. He searches for Nina, the killing victim, and lets her know she is in danger. She doesn't believe him, just like everyone else. But does Andy get to prove he is telling the truth.
