Welcome back to East Emerson, a town chock-full of monsters, in this spooky and hilarious middle grade series about three kids who must unravel centuries of secrets to save the day.

• He’s become best friends with neighbors Ivy and Linus (the only people who can see what he sees)

Will and his friends are back to save the town from werewolves in this follow-up to The Supernatural Society (2022).

After saving the town from a vampire and his legion of vampire pets, Will, Ivy, and Linus receive a new warning of hirsute strangers appearing on the full moon. When they head out into the town to investigate, they are attacked by newly turned werewolves, and Will gets bitten and turns into a werewolf, too. Soon they discover someone is planning to turn the whole town into a mind-controlled werewolf army. Will struggles with his new hairy self and doglike behaviors as well as his hurt feelings surrounding his father’s not being around for him since the divorce. With the help of a good witch, a lamia (half snake, half human) librarian, and a mystical fox, the trio of friends must find the Alpha werewolf and stop the attack on their town. Ogle writes another hilarious yet thoughtful story of bravery, family, and friendship. Themes of grief and loneliness run throughout the tale, which demonstrates ways of coping and moving forward. This sequel is narrated by a monster named Adam who throws in funny and insightful commentary and directly addresses readers. There are new ciphers and codes for readers to solve, adding to the fun and engagement. Will presents Latine and White; Linus is Black, and Ivy is Korean American.

A humorous, thoughtful, and engaging sequel. (Fantasy. 8-12)
