[Bailey Young · Rating 5 out of 5]

100% Wolf is an engaging, magical, adventurous, humorous, unique, imaginative, and whimsical story! This book has recently been adapted into film and it is clear why. This book's main character Freddy Lupin is filled with heart, courage, mischief, and bad luck. Freddy is from a noble family of werewolves. Despite his great family name life is tough. Freddy has lost both of his parents, lives with his grumpy neglectful uncle, and two cousins who make fun him. Freddy brings some of his troubles on himself with his bad behavior and failure to hold himself accountable for anything, but it is undeniable that things aren't easy for him. Things get a lot harder on night of his first Transwolfation. Instead of turning into a fierce wolf, Freddy turns into a poodle. A poodle! This is unheard of bad luck. What werewolf turns into poodle? Things get even worse when Freddy is thrown into dog prison. Then he finds out a mysterious man is following him and his family. Can Freddy prove he is 100% wolf and save his pack?

We love this fun fantasy and this adorable Freddy plushie! It is so cute! The stuffed animal stands up on its own and is movie accurate! Miss London loves her new friend!
