Lottie Luna and the Giant Gargoyle by Vivian French. Illus. by Nathan Reed

Imagine appearing to be a regular young girl but in reality you are a werewolf with powers that make you super-fast and super-strong and give you x-ray vision. Lottie Luna is just that and although she doesn't like to use her powers, preferring to be just the regular young girl, if she finds her friends in a pickle she will use them to help them out.

In this fourth adventure in the series, when Lottie's school holds its yearly talent competition, she finds that she might just have to use them, if she's going to help her friends save the day and win first prize.

Written for 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, each story is richly illustrated with all the supports needed to carry their reading journey forward making this is an ideal series to offer those looking for something new and different.
