BESTIIEEEES HAVE I GOT A STORY FOR YOUS. So I went to the library to do some ✨revision✨ for my gcse maths exam and it was time to go home so we had to wait for my mum to pick us up and I was bored as hell and I look to my left (or was it my right?) and I see SCOOBY DOO MY CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND. And then I see the word werewolves and my first thought is ‘Bella, where the hell have you been, loca?’ So I’m bored out of my mind waiting for my mum and decide to pick up and read the book. Now if I had known that there were scooby doo books I just know 7 year old me would’ve held my mum at gunpoint to buy them for me and that’s just a fact. This was pretty good but I am disappointed that the author decided to stick to the common/centuries old werewolf lore rather than the Twilight lore and for that this book gets 4⭐️

How many stars?
"Always five stars for Scooby-Doo!"

You like these books, huh? Did you learn anything?
"I learned that werewolves can transform from a man into a wolf and from a wolf into a man."

I read this for a book review for school. Interesting "facts" about werewolves presented in an easy to follow format. For 3-5th grades.
