5.0 out of 5 stars A superb gothic horror tale/romance on a third grade level, December 11, 1997

This review is from: THE RETURN OF THE WEREWOLF (Bullseye Chillers) (Paperback)

A reading teacher, I want books that children love to read. This is one of them. Having read and used all of the Random House Bullseye Chiller classic horror tales, many of which (Dracula and Frankenstein, for example) are very good, I consider Return of the Werewolf the best (and most difficult) of the lot. Nine and ten year old girls, in particular, love this book. It is a very well done dark, gothic romance.

The cover is a disaster. It suggests a simple-minded, bloody monster story which will repel girls, the very readers who are most likely to find the book absorbing,and will attract boys, many of whom will be disappointed by the romance and subtlety.

The formula-generated reading level of 2.3 on the back cover is absurd. The vocabulary and complexity of the plot require at least a fourth grade reading level.

A great, highly motivating book!
