The Blurb

The legend of the werewolf reimagined in this thrilling, spine-tingling adventure by superstar DrawWithRob author/illustrator Rob Biddulph. Perfect for children of 8-12, with more than 100 spectacular black-and-white illustrations throughout.

Jax, Jovi, Esau and Fourth live for full-moon adventures – sneaking out after curfew, dodging the Nighthawks and roaming the empty streets of Moonhaven.

But when a rare werewolf attack rocks the town, the friends become prime suspects. With the Nighthawks closing in on anyone who was out after dark, they’re forced to run – setting off a chain of rumours, secrets and betrayals. As suspicion spreads, friendships are tested and the truth may be more dangerous than any of them imagined . . .

The Review

A high-stakes, spine-tingling adventure that perfectly balances mystery with a wonderful sense of atmosphere.

This is a clever and cunning reimagining of a classic monster legend packed with heart and claw-some energy. The plot moves at a cracking pace, exploring themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the weight of secrets. It is a real page-turner that keeps you guessing about the true nature of the threat until the very end.

I love the seamless integration of more than 100 spectacular black-and-white illustrations. The artwork isn’t just an addition; it is a vital part of the storytelling. The illustrations bring the tension of the chase and the eerie beauty of Moonhaven to life, making it an incredibly accessible and engaging read.

Fans of high-stakes mysteries and highly illustrated adventures will find much to love here. It is exactly the kind of book that will have young readers staying up past their own curfews to read just one more chapter.

Great for fans of:

• No Place For Monsters by Kory Merritt
• Stitch by Padraig Kenny
• Magicalia: Race Of Wonders by Jennifer Bell
