Synopsis "Bridget in Werewolf Rehab: Bridget the Werewolf Book 1"
Bridget hates being a werewolf! In the hope she will learn to love her inner wolf, she's packed off to Herr Wolf's rehab for werewolves. Compulsory shape shifting, howling practice and live mice breakfasts make Bridget scheme to run away. But when she meets a bunch of vampire misfits and a murderer threatens her life, Bridget must decide whether to escape rehab or stay and unleash the wolf within. Praise for BRIDGET IN WEREWOLF REHAB: 'JK Rowling combined school and magic; Maura Byrne mixes rehab and werewolf. And the mix works. Set in Mallow, Bridget and other cosmopolitan, special-needs teenagers skype, have laptops, but they also shapeshift, howl and growl. Their destiny: being a werewolf. This tale with its fresh, rude, palpable physicality will captivate, unsettle and thrill young reader. Bridget is feisty, memorable and the werewolf scenario is expertly sustained. Add in vampires, leprechauns, a mystery violet-coloured bottle and a murder plot and you have a cracking tale.' -- RECOMMENDED READS GUIDE 2012, Children's Books Ireland
