The Werewolf of Fever Swamp by R.L. Stine
adventurous
mysterious
fast-paced
3.0
Grabbed the audio for this for a long drive with my fiancée to help pass the time.
This one was a little odd to me honestly. Nothing really happens, which sometimes in a book can make it more scary or suspenseful, but that doesn’t often work in middle grade.
For the most part this one was about walking in the woods, a big giant dog, and being afraid of a swamp hermit. The kid is certain there’s a werewolf and yet he keeps exploring the woods like nothing’s wrong…which is not unlike children. But the ending was exciting and definitely has the classic Stine twist, so I enjoyed that.
Personally a 3/5*.
