Twins Jax and Jovi live in the town of Moonhaven, where a monthly curfew is enforced on every full moon night to keep the population safe from the threat of a werewolf attack – but are things really as they seem?
This atmospheric and action-packed illustrated novel, with plenty of twists and just the right level of ‘spook’, is the perfect entry into the horror genre for young readers, and a thoroughly modern take on the legend of the werewolf. The twins and their friends Esau and Fourth form a wonderfully relatable central cast, each with their own strengths and human flaws as they contend with missing parents, shadowy organisations, suspicious, secrets, and the supernatural!
Very short chapters of around 2-4 pages each, and sections named for notable full moons in the annual calendar – the Strawberry Moon, the Harvest Moon, and so forth – contribute to a brilliantly pacey narrative, perfect for readers in Key Stage Two who are building their reading confidence. Biddulph’s bold black-and-white illustrations appear throughout, establishing character, setting, and particularly atmosphere, with great use of gothic silhouettes and shadows. There is also plenty of rich discussion to be had around such themes as rebellion, propaganda, questioning the status quo, and the use of fear as a means of control.
Stay tuned for the cinematic climax, and a final twist which leaves things wide open for a sequel and a return to the world of Moonhaven.
The legend of the werewolf reimagined in this thrilling, spine-tingling adventure by superstar author/illustrator Rob Biddulph. Perfect for children of 8-12, this hardback is packed with more than 100 spectacular black-and-white illustrations by the author.
Read the full description
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 . .
