After sneaking out against her mother's wishes, Artie Irvin spots a massive wolf-then watches it don a bathrobe and transform into her mom. Thrilled to discover she comes from a line of werewolves; Artie asks her mom to share everything-including the story of Artie's late father. Her mom reluctantly agrees. And to help Artie figure out her own wolflike abilities, her mom recruits some old family friends.
Artie thrives in her new community and even develops a crush on her new friend Maya. But as she learns the history of werewolves and her own parents' past, she'll find that wolves aren't the scariest thing in the woods-vampires are.

I really enjoyed Artie and the Wolf Moon, my first from the author. I read graphic novels sometimes but haven't for a while, so it was nice to take a break from the stuff I usually read. This is a fun, entertaining YA novel with a twist of teen angst, humour and a dash of horror. I liked the artwork as well, simple and effective. I enjoyed myself to much I didn't want to leave Artie and her life. This is a hugely enjoyable book.
