About this book
Prepare yourself for a thrilling adventure full of twists and turns as you become the main character in the story and negotiate the dangers of Werewolf Wood.
As the hero, you are sent to your grandmother’s house for two weeks of the summer holidays. But what you imagined might be a calm, relaxing holiday turns out to be far more sinister.
Before long, you find yourself immersed in a chilling tale of mysterious disappearances, full moons, and strange figures lurking in the dark woods.
Readers decide the direction of the story by choosing actions, solving puzzles, and recalling key information, all while trying to avoid a sticky end. To add to the interactivity, some choices also require dice rolls or the use of Fear Points, which adds a Dungeons and Dragons-style roleplay element to the book.
Fully illustrated throughout and with a spooky, action-packed storyline, this will be a hit with many readers.
