A little lone werewolf prowls the nights on his own until he finds friendship in the most unexpected of places in this whimsical and tender picture book in the spirit of Julie Fogliano’s My Best Friend.

Every night at midnight, Felix turns into a wolf. His hands and feet turn into velvety paws, his senses grow sharper, and he grows a long, furry tail. Felix loves exploring on four legs, and he has the nighttime world to himself. There’s no one else like him.

During the day, Felix is human, but it still feels like there’s no one like him. The other kids used to invite him to play, but now they keep their distance. That’s fine, though. Felix doesn’t need anyone else. But after a chance encounter, Felix the little lone wolf starts to wonder whether he might find his pack after all.

Every Night at Midnight follows Felix who turns into a wolf each night and has been exploring the city alone. At school, he struggles to make friends since he can’t go to sleepovers and decides it's easier to be alone. That is until there is a new kid at school and a new wolf in town who he instantly befriends. He realizes things are a lot better when you are among your friends.

What I like: This is the perfect story for the fall months when things begin to get a little spooky. The images are darker-themed in mainly blue, black, and white tones. I appreciated the way the author introduced us to the main character and then introduced the new wolf in town. I like that you can guess that this new kid will also be a wolf based on some of the traits she exhibits. I like that this book shows wolves in a different light than we may be used to and shows them as animals who need to belong.

Final Verdict: This is a fun story about friendship and wolves that children ages 4 and up will enjoy. While werewolves may sound like a scary subject to read to children, this is a great book to introduce the concept to children as it doesn’t introduce them as scary animals.

Every night at midnight, Felix turns into a wolf and likes to go on runs. Since he's the only werewolf he knows, he usually spends his time alone. Changing into a wolf at night makes it hard to join others for sleepovers, so they no longer invite him. But he's okay with it. That is, until he meets another wolf. He quickly learns how much more fun things are with a friend.

EVERY NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT is a paranormal children's picture book that shows the wonders of friendship and how life is more fun with others in it. The illustrations are darker themed with a black and white scheme and sharp line work. Werewolves are the perfect topic for the spooky season and while this one wasn't scary, it's still a good Halloween read. Wolves are pack animals so I love how they're the main characters because wolves need friends. Felix may take a bit to realize it, but he's no different.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to children aged four and up who enjoy stories about friendship and paranormal creatures like werewolves.
