Wolf

Wolf by Rachael Ball, 302 pages.

A graphic novel about Hugo, his brother, sister, and mother after Hugo's father dies. Hugo is young and finds it hard to believe that his father is truly gone, and he struggles to find his way. The family has to move, and his siblings and mother are on edge. In their exploration of the new neighborhood they find that the man next door is rumored to be a wolfman and to eat children. The other neighbor, a boy about their age, convinces them to build a time machine, one based on the movie version of the HG Wells story. Interesting, dreamy pencil drawings complement the mood of the story.
