Since ancient times, monsters have terrorised humans through stories and myths, but what if these creatures are not as fearsome as they seem? Twelve-year-old Lowell struggles to fit in after moving to a new village, especially as bullies target him for being different. When he begins to experience strange changes—growing hairier, a growlier voice, and mood swings—he discovers one full-moon night that he is a werewolf, witnessed by his twin sister Lys. Follow Lowell's journey as he joins the Monster Support Group in hopes of finding a way back to 'normal'.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Since the beginning of time, monsters have existed to frighten humans. We have known them in cinema or television, literature, urban legends and mythology, many are so ancient that we do not even know their true origin. But what if the stories about these so-called monsters only paint one side of them? What if these creatures are actually not as monstrous as they first appear?

When twelve-year-old Lowell moves to a new village, he struggles to fit in at school – he is a bit different, and the bullies don't seem to like different. Then the changes start. At first, Lowell thinks these are just the ordinary, growing-up kind of changes: he gets hairier, his voice gets growlier and his moods are all over the place. But then one full-moon night, after a very bad day at school, he transforms into a werewolf in front of his twin sister, Lys.

Join Lowell as he joins the Monster Support Group in an attempt to return to 'normal'.
