Priya isn't sure what to expect, but it isn't the horrifying creature that's shut in the basement. <p/>With Brigid nowhere to be found, Priya begins to puzzle together an impossible but obvious truth: the creature might be a werewolf--and the werewolf might be Brigid. As Brigid's unique condition worsens, their friendship will be deepened and challenged in unexpected ways, forcing them to reckon with their own ideas of what it means to be normal.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Kids' Indie Next List Pick for Spring 2021<br>One of <i>POPSUGAR's </i>Best YA Books of April<br>A SIBA Read This Next Selection for Spring 2021</b> <p/>"Emotional, thoughtful, and a true testament to the power of friendship, <i>Lycanthropy and Other Chronic Illnesses</i> is a werewolf novel that will make you look at navigating illness, supernatural or not, in a whole new way....O'Neal breaks new ground with this book and accomplishes something truly wonderful."--<i>Locus Magazine</i> <p/>"Your next favorite horror-comedy."--Syfy Fangrrls <p/>"O'Neal persuasively pulls from her own experience with chronic illness to inform her depiction of the topic, using interactions between support group members to layer comedic banter and vulnerability that specifically addresses aspects of disability experiences."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"A heartwarming, quirky take on chronic illness in all its hairy detail."--<i>Kirkus Reviews <p/></i>"A fresh and original twist on the werewolf legend."<i>--Booklist <p/></i>"A must-read for anyone with a chronic illness or who loves someone with a chronic illness."<i>--<i>School Library Journal</i><br><i><br></i></i>"An electric tour de force of hilarity and humanity.
