When the full moon rises on the night of his seventh birthday, strange things begin to happen to shy little Alfie: he suddenly grows sharp claws and white fuzzy hair, and begins to howl at the moon.  Alfie soon realizes he is no longer a regular kid - he has turned into a werewolf!  Only his brother Timmie knows, but with Alfie attacking his neighbour's chickens and biting a bully in the leg, it won't be long until his secret is revealed.  Alfie just wants to be an ordinary boy again, but with the help of his loving family and a mysterious, hairy stranger, he may learn that what makes each person different is also what makes them special.
