Werewolf on My Street

 

​

Barry McKie is a normal twelve-year-old kid.  He watches horror films on the weekends.  He draws monsters and aliens in his free time.  And he has a crush on Gwen Beckett—the girl who’s been his neighbor for years, but never noticed him.  School’s almost over and summer vacation is on its way. 

 

One night, Barry hears a booming sound coming from outside his house.  Not a dog’s bark.  But a thunderous howl that can only come from a werewolf.  And Gwen’s dad has all the makings of a werewolf.  When the werewolf attacks Gwen’s dog, things get serious.  Now, Barry has to stop the hairy beast before everyone becomes werewolf chow.  

How I Became a Monster

 

​

Thirteen-year-old Britt Babbin, the scariest kid around, terrorizes his neighborhood on Hob Street. Even the school bully stays clear of him. He takes pleasure in putting fear in others, wearing hideous masks and playing practical jokes. But Britt has one problem: he cannot scare his older brother, Todd. No matter how hard Britt tries, Todd is always one step ahead.

 

However, everything changes when Britt orders a device, guaranteed to scare Todd, from a horror shop called Frapples’ Hall of Frights. When a box arrives at Britt’s house, Jake, a gruesome monster, explodes from its cardboard packaging. Jake pledges his allegiance to Britt, promising to frighten Todd out of his mind. But Jake overstays his welcome, wanting only to have Britt as a sidekick in his mission to spread terror.

 

Slowly, in the same manner as someone catching a flu, Britt begins taking on certain characteristics and the appearance of a monster the more he is around Jake. Britt’s subsequent journey with Jake proves to be more of a monstrous test than mere fun.
