The Howling Book

by Steve Brezenoff

The abandoned house had a book. The book had something inside it.

Shay Isley loves to read, but she's become bored by the usual stories, so she turns to the horror section and finds the book Attack of the Moon Beast. When night comes this book turns into a monster--part werewolf and part book--and only the librarian can save her and her little brother from becoming its prey.
