Wow, this was great!! Adventurous, heartfelt, and a little silly too. I'm familiar with Tysoe's work having read What's Up Beanie, and her art is always fun and expressive. In Werebeast though we get to see more of the breadth of her illustration abilities, including more expansive and detailed environments in the intro, character design, and in the magical worldbuilding. The more detailed aspects of her art still blended well with the funny and over the top facial expressions that I associate with her style. I figured this would be a cute and quick read and wasn't expecting to be so thoroughly invested (though I know Tysoe is great at relatable and sweet content). There is a surprising amount of information packed into this story, from the older sisters and their ambitions and relationships with classmates, to the secret lives of neighbors, all in addition to Peanut's magical and unpredictable powers. I think this strikes an enjoyable balance of action and intrigue with more emotional moments, and has a range of ages represented as well. A fantastic addition to a middle grade GN collection.

This is so cute! The cutest illustrations and the most beautifully colored scenes. The story is fun and positive. Hopefully there are more books. Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC

This was such a wonderful world to jump into. I love the idea of a world after magic and how it affects the population as a whole. The art work was stunning and the story was amazing. I cannot wait to get more of these characters and see what happens.

Take Jack Jack from "The Incredibles" and put him in "The Owl House" and you'd have an inkling of what "My Sister the Werebeast" is like! The art style- super cute. The story- super relatable. I was pleasantly surprised at the depth this fun story took (and it reminded me to not judge a book by its cover.) Besides the adorable-factor, there's more to Tysoe's work than just aesthetics. Tackling topics like independence, family, frustration, and forgiveness. I found that, even as an adult, I was moved to call up my own siblings for a virtual hug. I can't wait to get this title in my patron's hands!

A Cute story about a young child discovering something important about herself: peanut has to work out how to control her powers to prevent her from turning into a werebeast. Along the way, she makes new friends and strengthens her relationship with her older sisters. I am hoping that a second one is on the way to show what happens to the parents!

This book is ADORABLE. From the art style to the world building, I loved every second of it. I can't wait for the next volume and I hope it lives up to this first volume!
