Summary: My best Friend is a Werefox.
Review: "Pure Magic" is a pleasant little book about a friendship between two boys, one of whom is a werefox. Johnny Dunlap is the main character, he is a country boy who has no friends. When a new family moves into the region, Johnny soon becomes friends with the new family's eldest son, Giles Dumont. Johnny notices early on that there is something strange about Giles and his mother, but can't figure out what it is. Soon, however, Johnny finds out that Giles is capable of taking on the form of a fox at will. Johnny is concerned about Giles' relations with his father, Mr. Dumont. The book doesn't explain why Giles' father dislikes his son, but it is clear that Mr. Dumont and his son have strained relations. Johnny works to improve the relationship between father and son, and the story does have a happy ending. I think this is a nice book for both children and adults, and especially for people who are interested in werefoxes (stories about werefoxes can be hard to find).
