Lottie Luna and the Fang Fairy by Vivian French. Illus. by Nathan Reed

Lottie Luna is a werewolf. She's super-fast, super-strong and has X-ray vision. Lottie doesn't really like to use her special skills, though - she just wants to be like everyone else. But when Lottie and her friends go camping, she finds that she might just need to - if she's going to find out the truth about the fang fairy.

This is the third in this series for young, newly independent readers who see themselves as just like Lottie - being just regular little girls on the surface , but with a heroine not too far below the surface. Richly illustrated with all the supports needed to carry their reading journey forward, this is an ideal series to offer those looking for something new and different.
