Jamie Stewart's Reviews > Mongrels

As I read this story I couldn’t help but be reminded of Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine, in that both works could be considers novel’s or collections of short stories. Mongrels is at its heart a coming of age story about an untraditional family who are constantly moving across the USA, the fact that they are a family of werewolves is merely colouring on the story. Don’t get me wrong the werewolf lore is handle well and readers are provided with multiple enjoyable stories, which I won’t spoil here, but the story at its heart is about family struggling to survive in America while raising a child. The author handles this with a light touch providing a insightful, sometimes funny and sometimes touching read. I highly recommend this!
