Name of book?

I am writing a book, a book which at the moment I am very proud of. Every time I tell someone I get asked 'What is it called?' I have no idea.
I will give you an outline of the story so far: A girl named Dandy (excuse the silly name) wakes up one night to find that someone has set her house on fire she passes out and when she wakes up she is surrounded by rodents, rats mice ect. they can talk. She wonders why, she sees her reflection in a pond and sees that she has magically turned into a wolf. She follows a rat called George (a character based on an old friend of mine) and comes into a chamber where an ancient rat tells here everything and that she is a gifted creature known as a two soul or shape shifter, he explains that it runs in her family and that her house was set on fire by a henchman of an evil dragon who wants revenge on all shape shifters. She has to get under cover and turns into a wolf to join a pack. Her new friend George, who is also a shape shifter turns into a wolf too. They join a pack of wolves led by a giant wolf who I for some reason named Fangfull.
That is a basic outline of the story so far and I left loads of the description out but has anyone got any ideas on names?
Whew what a mouthful!

Why not just "Two-Soul and the Dragon"?

How about "Dandy's Dilemma." That's my idea anyway. Hopefully, others will come along to add their own.

These names are pretty good, but I need a wide range of ideas, I will add my current idea, it is the only thing I can think of and I am not to keen on it, my idea is just Two-soul at the moment, I am only going to use that idea if I can not think of anything else or if there are no suggestions that I think fit the story.

Really? I could write in the opening paragraph, just so you get a bit of an idea of how I write.

The pounding of paws against the ground.
Frenzied hooves sending up sheets of snow.
Laboured breath.
The scent of fresh blood.
Wind streaming past lean bodies.
Terrifying growling.
Teeth bared in fearsome snarls.
The hunted struggling.
The thrill of the hunt shooting through the hunters bodies.
And an overpowering urge to kill.

If you liked that then I will send more of the story in another time.

If you read the paragraph then could you please comment, I would like to know whether or not people like it, the only person who has read it so far is my mum and mums always say they like something and I don't know if other people like it too.

The Adventures of Dandy Two-Soul


Do you want it to be a series? Cause then you can think of Subtitles.

To me, the paragraph is disjointed.

While I get that you're just going for the images those phrases evoke--it's not doing anything for me.

I would either rephrase it so that it was complete sentences, or make it so that all of the phrases were in the same syntax: Air streaming past bodies. Hooves pounding---all "ing" words, or all present tense, or whatever--but the images don't flow because there's nothing to connect them at this time.
