I started and finished this book over the weekend. I am not a huge fan of this "graphic novel" type genre, but know of plenty of boys that would eat this book up.
Luke Thorpe, a very smart boy form England has always been the rule following, smart student who has recently been bitten by a werewolf. All of a sudden, strange and obscure things begin happening to him: random hands turning into claws, growing a tail, and an increased insatiable appetite for raw meat start to invade his daily routines.
Unsure of how to handle all of these mysterious occurrences, Ryan, a fellow werewolf, offers to "tame and train" Luke and help him manage his new "condition." Trusting Ryan, Luke begins his training, but it is not the training he thought he was in for; Ryan is seeking to lead a war between the werewolves and the vampires, and Luke is a strategic part of his battle.
I was not a huge fan of this book, but I know plenty of boys and girls who will love it. It has some humorous bits to it, and many readers will enjoy the dilemmas that Luke ends up in as he decides whether fighting vampires is what he wants to do.
You should check out this Tim Collins series if you are a fan of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, Timmy Failure, or Big Nate.
