“Required reading for budding happy mutants and their grownups . . . Perfectly wonderful and wonderfully perfect” (Boing Boing).
 
A shameful fact about humanity is that some people can be so ugly that no one will be friends with them. It is shameful that humans can be so cruel, and it is shameful that humans can be so ugly.
 
So begins the incredible story of Myron Horowitz, a disfigured thirteen-year-old just trying to fit in at his Pennsylvania school. When an encounter with a bully leads to a mysterious explosion—and Myron lying unconscious and naked in the wreckage of the cafeteria—he discovers he is an immortal lycanthrope . . . a were-mammal who can transform from human to animal. He also discovers that there are others like him, and many of them want Myron dead. “People will turn into animals,” says the razor-witted narrator of this tour-de-force, “and here come ancient secrets and rivers of blood.”
 
“Johnson’s debut novel is original and thought-provoking, especially the unique mythology intertwined with literary and historical references.” —School Library Journal
 
“Filled with sarcasm and humor, this book will appeal to all teens . . . Teachers will love the high-level vocabulary (and content clues), sophisticated mathematical and scientific references, and non-stop allusions to writers, poets, books, and historical events.” —VOYA
 
“I believe that readers, both young and old will find Immortal Lycanthropes an enjoyable read. Funny and exciting, with the trip being just as important as the destination.” —Comic Booked
