Summary: (from goodreads) I still hadn't fully absorbed the terrible possibility that I might actually be a werewolf. A werewolf. I kept stumbling over that word; it made no sense to me. How could I be a werewolf? Werewolves didn't exist.

When Tobias Richard Vandevelde wakes up in hospital with no memory of the night before, his horrified mother tells him that he was found by the police. At Featherdale Park. In a dingo pen.

As if that isn't weird enough, suddenly a very menacing looking guy and a priest show up at his door.

As the mystery unfolds, Toby finds himself keeping company with some very strange and sickly looking people - members of a suburban vampire support group. And when he's abducted in broad daylight, he will need all their help to break free ... and to come to terms with his own incredibly rare condition.

The is the 2^nd Installment of the series, I did not read the  first and felt it was not necessary.  Toby, a 13 year old boy, finds himself in a hospital after being found unconscious in an animal pen. He has no recollection of how and why he was  there. After this his life changes completely and the troubles begin.  The story has crazy and overpowering friends, kidnappers and a support group of strange characters.

The book is geared towards the younger  readers, it is easy to read and they can probably relate a lot better to the plot, than the older crowd. The pace of the story was kind of odd, it contained lots of lolls  of nothing exciting happening and then it went into  a rushed ending.
