Lottie Luna is a werewolf, which means she’s very fast, super-strong and has X-ray vision, but she’d rather just be like everyone else.
On top of her powers, her father is the new king, she lives in a castle and she’s about to start her first day at a new school.
She’s nervous that the other children won’t like her and she wants nothing more than to make new friends and spend time with them at school.
Everything isn’t as bad as she fears when she finds her place at her new school, making friends and winning awards.
But when someone starts attacking the school’s bloom garden she needs to stop being afraid to use her powers and step in to solve the problem, and she learns that while her powers might help her, true strength often comes from within.
This is a fun read for a slightly older child (about seven to nine) which will have them giggling with her as she spends time at school, but will also have readers sympathising with her as they relate to her fears of not having any friends to play with.
This is the first in the Lottie Luna series and would make a great addition to any child’s bookcase.
Don’t be fooled into thinking it’s just for girls – the heroine may be a girl, but boys can also relate to Lottie Luna’s triumphs and challenges.
