Bridget in Werewolf Rehab: Bridget the Werewolf Book 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781481069403)

Maura Byrne's childhood love of animals and fantasy led her to create BRIDGET IN WEREWOLF REHAB, the first book in the 'Bridget' trilogy. Maura lives in Dublin with her husband, two teenage children and her dog Barney. Barney (who sometimes pees indoors!) is the inspiration for the werewolf character 'Andrew.' Maura loves the idea of meeting a real werewolf but has never seen one. To report any sightings, email Maura on maura@maura-byrne.com. Maura runs regular werewolf workshops where children learn how werewolves eat, prey and live. She always starts the lesson with a bit of howling and growling practice followed by some nuzzling and nosing! She's passionate about children writing their own stories and has presented 24 young writer workshops all over Ireland during Children's Book Festival in October. See www.maura-byrne.com/gallery for photos. During the workshop, children get to do fun writing exercises and Maura gives youngsters her top 20 writing tips to take home. Here's what librarians have to say about the workshops: "The presentations were great and the teachers and children loved them. I've got great reports from all over Cork. They were delighted to have hints on writing to bring home with them." Bernie Wallace, Mallow, Co Cork "Certainly enjoyed your visit. It was wonderfully dynamic and interactive; keeping a bunch of boys of that age engaged and orderly is no mean feat!" Ger Dunne, Kanturk Library, Co Cork.
