Micky’s fear follows a scary werewolf video, while Wolfie is revealed to be a werepuppy.
Micky chooses Wolfie, enjoys his company, and is upset when the family excludes Wolfie from the holiday.
A scary werewolf video frightens Micky, and the story includes distress when Wolfie is not allowed on holiday. Wolfie’s wildness and mischief may merit a calm check-in.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
