This is a graphic novel but I only listened to it as an audio. There have been some graphic novels that have been adapted well enough to an audio format that you could hardly tell they are graphic novels. This is not one of them. It was difficult to follow the story without the pictures to look at and the readers makes no attempt to fill in the gaps. That being said, I can imagine it is a pretty good graphic novel. The story and characters are solid, and there are plenty of action scenes that I imagine work well in a graphic novel form. My library doesn't own this graphic novel but if we purchased it we would probably put it in the YA graphic novel sections because of some hints of LGBTQ relationships. They are not in your face, but they are there. (2021, 256 p.)

Artie and the Wolf Moon by Olivia Stephens
Artie lives with her mom, and misses her Dad who died when she was young. Sometimes her mom does things that are a little weird, but isn't that true of all moms? Then one day, she sees her mother transform into a wolf, and discovers that she is a werewolf. When Artie turns 13, her own werewolf powers immerge and Artie's mother introduced her to the greater werewolf community. At first transforming and running with the pack is thrilling, but soon Artemis discovers that werewolves are not the only--or most dangerous--mythological creatures that are real.
