Werewolves Don't Keep Diaries

Key Selling Points

Lou is going through some odd changes—his feet sprouting hair, his fingernails sharpening into claws, craving raw meat—but it's only when he finally learns about his family legacy (on the night of the full moon) that it all makes sense. The Chandra-Pine family is of mixed Indian, white (and werewolf) heritage. Werewolves Don't Keep Diaries shows a loving yet realistically complicated family dynamic, between Lou being teased by his older brothers and his parents trying to subtly encourage him to embrace his werewolf self—but shows that in the end, they all belong together. A fun take on how it can be tough to be the youngest, with a gentle reminder to try not to rush growing up or changing—because those changes will inevitably come; also a comforting love-yourself ending that shows Lou may think he's odd but he actually fits in just fine. The first book in a two-book series; the second book's story will show his parents going away, so Lou is left with his maverick brothers as his babysitters. The author of the Jordan and Max series, Suzanne Sutherland is a skilled writer whose debut novel, When We Were Good, was selected for the ALA's Rainbow List. This high-readability book features a dyslexia-friendly font, cream paper and increased line spacing to increase accessibility for dyslexic and other striving readers.
