Frith, Nicholas John A Werewolf Named Oliver James. PICTURE BOOK.
Arthur A. Levine (Scholastic), 2018.
$18. 9781338254334.
After band practice, Oliver James has to be home for dinner
by 6 pm. While he is waiting with his friends
for the bus, though, a full moon comes out and he becomes a werewolf. Of course his friends run away afraid, but he
finds there are benefits like super strength and speed – to get home to his
werewolf parents in time for dinner.
The friends’ reaction to his new werewolf-ness and his
antics as he discovers his new powers is cute.
However – I have a hard time believing that werewolf parents wouldn’t
have prepared him for his impending change.
Someone who likes humor and a little gothic spookiness will enjoy this.
EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL.
