OK so I've been reading a scholastic book I bought from the book fair at my school anyway said book is about a special kind of human called a feral they can communicate and use willpower to control the specific animal for instance the main character of the book who goes by caw but has the original name Jack Carmichael who is a crow feral the only one actually a ferals power is handed down once the feral parent dies for caw it was his mother who was killed by the spinning man a spider feral who has followers jawbone a dog feral mamba a snake feral and scuttle a cockroach feral they are bad ferals who helped the "spinning man" cause strings of crimes like kidnapping and murder but some good ferals escaped his grasp such as the cat feral Felix Quaker. now they need more ferals to save caws human friend Lydia who is the daughter of the cheif of police.
