Ah! Fast-paced, well written, exciting, and the supernatural to boot! How can you lose?

i recommended this to my intermediate students and they liked it. This is a clever story, set in early London, about a tick tock lad named Barnaby. Barnaby uncovers the underhand dealings of a quack (illegal doctor)who uses destitute people as guinea pigs. He gives them a so called effacacious elixir that turns them into werewolves, which in turn he kills for their pelts for the fashion market. A great, easy read, that is not too complex.
