DLA Las Piñas HS LRC finally completes The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy!

The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, written by Maggie Stiefvater, contains the three books, Shiver (published 1 August 2009), Linger (published 13 July 2010) and Forever (published 12 July 2011). The books follow Grace Brisbane, who was attacked and bitten by the wolves behind her house when she was eleven, and Sam Roth, who was bitten when he was only seven.

Maggie Stiefvater (born November 18, 1981) is a bestselling American author of young-adult/urban fantasy novels. At 16, Stiefvater legally changed her first name from Heidi to Margaret. She is married with two children and currently lives in Virginia.

Shiver is written from both Grace and Sam's point of view. Linger is written from Grace, Sam, Isabel and Cole's view point. Forever is written from Grace, Sam, Isabel and Cole's point of view, with a small prologue from Shelby.

The series is set in the fictional town Mercy Falls. Stiefvater has said that the real town of Ely in Minnesota would be the closest in destination to Mercy Falls.

Unique Features, in association with Warner Bros., optioned Shiver's film rights shortly after Shiver was released. A script has been written but casting has not yet begun. On 3 March 2010, the scriptwriter tweeted "To all my new SHIVER followers: Happy to tell you the SHIVER movie has taken a BIG step forward recently. That's all I can say for now..."

On March 13, IMDB updated its Shiver page by saying that two new producers, Leah Holzer and Mark Kaufman, had joined Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne to help produce the project. The Shiver project is known to have an oscar-nominated director attached. On the 2nd February, 2012, the scriptwriter revealed that the screenplay was finished and that the producers were already pursuing a financial deal.
