COPY ISBN
Gr 7 Up—This handbook is divided into three distinct segments: "Unleashing Your Wild Side," "The Stylish Lycanthrope," and "Moonlight Mystery." Each chapter quizzes readers or is full of helpful tips to advise them on their path toward lycanthropy. The guide sheds light on understanding your werewolf self, hunting strategies and lunar charts, living quarters, party recipes, and music to howl by. The volume has a great nonfiction component, which includes research on werewolf legends and lore as well as movies, TV shows, comics, games, books, and further study. An entertaining read full of color photos and illustrations that add to the book's charm.—Donna Rosenblum, Floral Park Memorial High School, NY
This mock manual for the new werewolf (or wolfman-wannabe) offers tips on different types of weres, what to expect during transformation, passing in human society, decorating a den, and more. While some information is based in traditional lycan lore, more comes from film or fiction sources and can be contradictory. Blood-soaked movie stills, photographs, and digitally enhanced images enhance the presentation. Reading list. Glos., ind.
