The perfect story of growing up and the cycle of family: how events in your life lead you away and then ultimately back to your community.

A sweet, quick middle grade story about a queer black girl learning she's a werewolf and discovering the history of her family. The story was pretty predictable overall but I love seeing diversity like this is middle grade stories!

Got this spontaneously as part of Libby‘s #biglibraryread. I am glad I decided to join this Libby read, although Middle Grade normally really isn‘t my jam.
Superficially this is a coming of age story of a young werewolf and her transformation. Quite a different take on vampires and how they multiply.
But ultimately this is a story about family, belonging and community… I really liked this. Great emotions, reading this made me happy!
Pretty artwork as well. The landscapes and the wolves were not terribly elaborate, but the people were portrayed very well. Especially Artie was a highlight, alone and with her mum and others. There is a lot of heart in this.
