The WOW! book that I chose from the mystery genre was The Werewolf Chase - A Mystery About Adaptations written by Lynda Beauregard. The reason that this book was a WOW! book for me is that I really loved the way it incorporated science content into a book that is fun for students to read! The book is a graphic novel and is part of the ‘Summer Camp Science Mysteries’ series. Not only can students follow along and try to solve the mystery of the Camp Dakota werewolf, but they also learn a lot of The WOW! book that I chose from the mystery genre was The Werewolf Chase - A Mystery About Adaptations written by Lynda Beauregard. The reason that this book was a WOW! book for me is that I really loved the way it incorporated science content into a book that is fun for students to read! The book is a graphic novel and is part of the ‘Summer Camp Science Mysteries’ series. Not only can students follow along and try to solve the mystery of the Camp Dakota werewolf, but they also learn a lot of valuable information about how humans and animals adapt to their environments! I think that students in third through fifth grade would be extremely interested in this novel because it is a graphic novel, and looks exciting and inviting. This is a great way to have kids read about science content without having to read a standard textbook or article. In the back of the book, there are a few experiments can try to learn more about adaptations. As a teacher, you could use the book to introduce these experiments so that students are able to experience exploration based learning. Personally, I would choose to introduce the experiments to my students BEFORE reading the book, then I would have students think about how the book relates to the experiments they have already explored. Then, after students have conducted the experiments and picked up on some information about adaptations from the book, I would teach a science lesson about adaptations. NC Science Standard 4.L.1 states that students should understand the effects of environmental changes, adaptations and behaviors that enable animals (including humans) to survive in changing habitats, so this type of lesson would be perfect for a fourth grade classroom! However, I think that this would be an appropriate book for any student grades three through five to read and enjoy! Another fun and meaningful activity that could be done in collaboration with this book is having students create their own animal or ‘alien’ and requiring them to describe how the animals body parts have adapted to the animals environment. For example, if a student created an animal with large ears, they might state that the animal lives in the jungle and must have large ears so that they can hear predators approaching from afar. This activity is very versatile, as it could be structured as a writing assignment or a verbal presentation!

Good book for elementary aged kids. Teaches science without feeling educational.

This time the campers are learning about animal adaptations, but they suspect one of the campers is a werewolf because of his strange behavior.

Bookaday #96. Ugh - this book is a mess - trying to do too many things - is it a science information book to be shelved in the 591s? mystery? folktale? only thing for sure is the graphic novel format. The drawings seem a bit off, and isn't an opossum a nocturnal animal? Bookaday #96.
