Gr 3-6-Freddy Lupin has been waiting all his life for his first transformation into a wolf. Raised in a castle as a member of a proud and ancient werewolf pack, he has had a difficult time since his father's mysterious death. Prone to accidents and mischief-making, he often angers his uncle, Sir Hotspur, and spars with his young cousins, Harriet and Chariot. But when the auspicious night of "transwolftation" finally arrives, Freddy finds himself changed into, not a mighty wolf, but a little black poodle. As if this is not enough humiliation, his evil cousins capture him and have him dyed pink. After escaping the groomer, Freddy finally unites with some friendly canines, only to find himself in a horrible pound from which no dog has ever escaped. There, he learns the truth about his father's death and plots his return to the castle to save his pack from a deadly werewolf hunter. Character development is certainly not the point here, and readers never find out for certain why Freddy turns into a poodle, but the fast-paced action and numerous fart jokes will lure young reluctant readers."Hayden Bass, Seattle Public Library, WA"

Grades 4-6 Freddy Lupin10 years old in human yearshas lived with his nasty uncle, Sir Hotspur, in Farfang Castle since his parents passing. He cant wait for his transwolfation, but when it comes, instead of becoming a great, respected wolf like his father, he changes into a tiny poodle. Rejected by his pack and dyed pink by mean cousins Harriet and Chariot, Freddy barely escapes an obsessive werewolf hunter and ends up in horrible Coldfax Fort with other abandoned dogs. There, aided by streetwise, loyal mongrel Batty, Freddy uses wits and courage to save his fellow captive canines in a fast-paced denouement that winds down to a rewarding, happy ending. Lyons entertaining debut blends humor, suspense, and a lively, mischievous protagonist into the supernatural story. Droll asides, quirky secondary characters, and amusing black-and-white drawings further enliven the descriptive narrative, as do Freddys varying experiences as human boy and dog. Readers will look forward to Freddys next adventure.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
