Under My Skin

"For the past six months, something has been happening to teens in Santa Feliz. Seventeen-year-old Josh Saunders has seen the news reports, but he is still unprepared when it happens to him. One minute he's arguing with his mother's boyfriend and the next, he's looming over the man, blood dripping from his claws--he has transformed into a mountain lion. When Josh switches back to his human body, he knows his life has changed forever. He has become a wildling. Pursued by both government authorities and criminal factions, wildlings must hide their newfound abilities to avoid being locked up for study and experimentation. When an accidental betrayal reveals Josh's secret, his carefully constructed cover is ripped apart, forcing his friends to intervene. They must grudgingly put their trust in other wildlings--and, most challenging, each other--if they ever hope to save him." -- Author's website.
