Author Janet Carpenter signs with Brighton Publishing for her book "The Sheep in Wolf''s Clothing"

Feb. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- In her debut young adult novel, “The Form Benders: The Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing”, Janet Carpenter takes the reader on a remarkable, breath-taking adventure with the main character, Ripley—a 16 year old boy with an alcoholic mother and an absent father. Ripley’s dreams take him to an imaginary world set deep in the forest near Shaver Lake, CA where he discovers a tribe of characters able to bend their forms from human to animal. His dreams soon become reality, and his life is transformed from struggling teen to something quite unexpected and extraordinary. Through his experiences in this coming of age tale, Ripley learns the age-old secret of form bending along with the wisdom of the ages and a future beyond his wildest dreams.

“The Form Benders: The Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing” is a tightly constructed story full of unflinching observation, telling details, and turns of events, written beautifully with striking originality. It is both lyrical and vivid, showing characters with a rich imaginative engagement with the world as we know it, and with Ripley’s newly discovered world of form benders.  

Kathie McGuire, Brighton Publishing’s Director stated, “Janet Carpenter’s first published novel bodes well for her career and for us, her readers. We anxiously await this talented writer’s three upcoming sequels in ‘The Form Benders’ series.”
