4.2 out of 5 stars 32 ratings
"In the small Midwestern town of Howlett, navigating high school is tough enough. But when a group of friends are inexplicably turned into weredogs, adapting to their new powers proves to be even tougher. This leads to an unlikely friendship with loner Mara, a werewolf whose father has mysteriously vanished. As the high schoolers team up to solve the disappearance, friendships are tested, and secrets are revealed as the Werewoofs prove themselves in an explosive showdown against a dangerous wolfpack and their vicious alpha."

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and heartwarming!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2022
    This one was a fun graphic novel, even if it had a dark undertone. I loved the idea of belonging that is clearly presented here (to a pack, to a family, to a group of friends), and the fact that you can find friends even in the hardest of times. I also enjoyed the twist of transforming into other animals rather than wolves, I found it refreshing. It does touch dark subjects like murder, violence and abduction, so be mindful of that if you decide to read it. But ot was a fun and quick read, entertaining and with enough hope to make it enjoyable to read. Thanks to @netgalley and the publishers for the copy provided for this review.

    Loved the mix of supernatural danger with high school drama. Inclusive without being preachy and THANK YOU for making high school kids look like high school kids. Kids, not supermodels with bulging biceps or bodacious tatas.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A cute comic
    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2021
    3 stars - I liked it

    This was a cute comic about a group of high schoolers who get turned into dog shifters. I liked the characters and seeing them grow as the story went on. Also I loved that they all found friendship through this experience. Overall, this was cute and interesting. I can see a teenager enjoying the story and the art style.

    Thank you to netgalley for providing an e-galley for review. Werewoofs suffers from younger cover syndrome. This has a lot more going on than the cover suggests. Standing up to your family, death, werewolves and working with people who are different that you

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fun story about lycanthropy and high school
    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2022
    Joelle began her writing career as an advertising copywriter, creating award-winning campaigns for brands like In-N-Out Burger, Kleenex and Lexus. Since making the jump to screenwriting, she’s written several romantic comedy and family telefilms including Hallmark Channel’s Paris, Wine and Romance. Joelle has also written comics for Blizzard, DC, Marvel, and Dynamite Entertainment. Graphic novels for IDW/Lion Forge Comics include reboots of the NBC classic shows Saved By the Bell and Punky Brewster. Her newest graphic novel is the YA horror book, WereWoofs.

    The small, Midwest town of Howlett was established, long ago, by werewolves. When ordinary humans came in, they drove the werewolves underground, but all that’s going to change when the pack alpha disappears and his nephew takes over. Working at the Paw Paw dog food mill gives him certain advantages, including corrupting the donated food at local animal shelters with the virus that creates werewolves.

    In the meantime, the baby of the pack, Mara, is struggling in high school. She’s been branded the freak of the class and has no friends. When a pack of dogs from the shelter break free and attack her classmates, however, she instantly gains some friends, especially when they begin shifting into dogs themselves. Her knowledge of werewolves and werewolf training helps them bond, but that still doesn’t solve the mystery of the missing alpha nor what caused the dogs in the shelter to go crazy.

    WereWoofs is a great YA graphic novel. There are horror elements, to be sure, but nothing too scary that a middle-grade or YA reader will be completely put off. Furthermore, the scenes of bullying and teasing in high school, as well as the problems with teachers, grades, crushes, etc. will connect well with a YA audience, as well as many adult readers. Val Wise’s cartoon style fits the narrative and the audience well, too. The characters are detailed enough to be realistic and not too cartoony, but they’re soft enough to not be overly realistic or scary; there’s an excellent balance that Wise has achieved with her art which only serves to propel the narrative further.

    Overall, WereWoofs is a fun story about lycanthropy and high school. It’s not too graphic or over-the-top, but it’s also not too cheesy as to upset or put off any of its target readers. It’s a solid mystery, open-ended mystery tale combined with high school drama that makes for a fun read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Horror-humor with heart and cross-gen appeal
    Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2021
    Wow! Super! I do enjoy horror/humor plots, and WereWoofs adds new and comic tweaks to the traditional werewolf set-up.

    In the midwestern town of Howlett (HOWL-ett: get it?) a werewolf family faces a crisis when its alpha wolf disappears. His ruthless nephew quickly claims leadership while threatening to expose the pack—which had been existing peacefully undercover—and go to war with the humans. But the alpha’s loner daughter Mara has other ideas, yet must face problems at her high school. Meanwhile, four of Mara’s classmates get bitten by suddenly-savage stray dogs, and then the four kids turn into were-dogs themselves. Mara must overcome her loner tendencies and take the lead on both fronts. Can she help her classmates control their new powers? Does what happened to the kids relate to her father’s absence? Can she turn her own wolf pack back towards peace?

    The character development is first rate. Mara and her ethnically diverse classmates all grow, change, and develop new attitudes about themselves, each other, and their futures. Stereotypes are assumed, then shattered. New liaisons are formed. Both packs—adult werewolves, kid weredogs—make pacts that will lead in positive directions. Each pack learns to collaborate in positive ways.

    While the “were” elements are of course fantasy, the kids’ concerns draw on real life. Getting good grades, pleasing your parents, figuring out if your crush—straight or gay—returns your affections all figure into the story. All the kids, in fact, have parent and relationship problems, but with each it’s different. The engaging line art conveys a simplified realism, with subdued coloring appropriate to the story.

    Teen and young adult readers will, of course, identify strongly with the characters. Adults, too, will enjoy the story as I did—character-driven and tightly plotted, with a supernatural element and plenty of irreverence. Happily, the last page drops breadcrumbs pointing to a volume 2.
