Essentially a cosy story which attempts to scare, My Friend's a Werewolf does not have enough substance to hold the listeners' attention for over two hours. Simon seems a nice enough boy when he first moves in next door to Kelly but why does he always wear black gloves? When Kelly accidentally catches a glimpse of his hands she begins to suspect something strange is happening. And then there's the howling she hears in the night. Gradually, and too slowly to pin the listeners to their seats, the story unfolds and Kelly learns the truth. Written to be read easily by unsophisticated readers, this works better in print.
