The Werepuppy on Holiday
by Jacqueline Wilson
1995
A holiday should mean fun, until you bring along a puppy with a full-moon problem. This sequel piles on the comic chaos as the family tries to relax while their pet’s secret threatens to explode.
The Werepuppy
by Jacqueline Wilson
1992
A boy finally gets the puppy he wants, but this pet comes with a weird surprise when the moon is full. A funny, slightly spooky story about secret-keeping, responsibility, and a dog who can’t stop causing chaos.
Series background & context
The Werepuppy books are short, silly, and just a bit spooky, perfect if you like a comic scare that never gets too dark.
At the center is a boy who desperately wants a pet, and a puppy who turns out to have a very odd problem. When the moon is full, this cute little dog can become something a lot fiercer, and keeping that secret is harder than it sounds.
It’s hard to look innocent when you’re howling.
In The Werepuppy and The Werepuppy on Holiday, the fun comes from the mix of everyday kid life and werewolf chaos. There are mishaps, near-disasters, and frantic attempts to explain away strange noises, chewed objects, and sudden bursts of wild behaviour.
The stakes stay kid-sized, but the emotions still feel real: wanting to belong, worrying you’ll be in trouble, and learning what responsibility actually looks like when you can’t just switch the problem off. Wilson keeps the pace quick and the tone light, with plenty of humour.
These are best if you want a fast read, a few shivers, and a puppy you can’t help rooting for.
