When Asher thinks he sees his soon-to-be stepbrother’s wolf-like reflection in the bathroom mirror, he knows he must tell his mum before they all become a midnight snack. But Mum doesn’t believe Luca is a werewolf, not after all the fibs Asher’s been telling recently.
Together with his banana-loving, werewolf-obsessed frenemy Helga, Asher must collect the evidence he needs to prove Luca is a werewolf. But it turns out it’s not quite that easy…
In ‘A Werewolf Ate my Homework’ we meet Asher who has a very BIG imagination. He’s very much like the boy who cried Wolf although he is making a very convincing case for his soon-to-be step-brother, Luca, being a werewolf. Of course, his mum doesn’t believe him as he lies frequently.
Asher needs the help of Helga, his werewolf-obsessed neighbour and once-best friend to help him, but she is still mad at him after a mysterious assembly where he shared something rather private and embarrassing about her to the whole school. Asher’s list of evidence gets longer and longer while the night of the full moon gets closer and closer.
This was such a brilliant read and I’m looking forward to reading more from Emily Snape. I was invested in the story from the first page because although Asher came across as silly and spontaneous, he was astute and gathering plenty of evidence. Emily Snape’s writing hooked me in and had me laughing throughout the book. The illustrations dotted throughout the book are brilliant.
This book would be perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Tom Gates.
