***Must Read for Middle School Students and Parents***
Friendship, bullying, and being misunderstood by adults are the everyday challenges for middle school students. This book confronts real life issues while applying humor and a fantasy spin.

The Wolf's Curse
Humans know very little about Leprechauns. Very few know the truths behind their gold, their laws, or their magic. Even fewer know that they have been cursed for centuries. This curse has brought upon an enemy that will stop at nothing to taste sweet Leprechaun blood.

Through an unlikely sequence of events, a young boy saves a Leprechaun from a wolf. A friendship is instantly formed, but with dangerous consequences. Join Franky on his journey from being the kid who is bullied by everyone to a kid brave enough to confront a wolf.

***** 5 star reviews *****


"Thoroughly enjoyed reading this story! Would love to see the story continue! Putting a spin on an old tale with new ideals and plot twists!

I would recommend this as a great escape into a whole new world book! One I would read again-especially if the author comes out with a second in this series! Oh, the adventures yet to be had for this cast of characters.

Great read-well worth your money to read!

(Keep an eye on this author-he has what it takes!)"

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful adventure.
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2013

I was looking for a different type of book to read and this one caught my eye. It may have been for teenagers, to young adults; but it was still a good read for us older generation. It was a free down load and I am glad I took a chance on it. The characters were very likeable, and I relate to being bullied in school. Just because you are different, kids can treat you like crap and get away with it. I hope Kevin Parrett will do a book II. I would like to see what happens to Don, and Franky. He was so picked on at school. I may be a lady, but I was bullied as well in school because I wasn't as smart as the other kids. Kids can be so mean sometimes to others who are a bit different. If you want a good adventure....this is the one to get.

This is a fun little young readers story. It is written in the first person, not my preferred style, but an east read.
The characters are few and easy to understand.
Great idea for a story, good descriptions and changes of scenery. Good philosophy on dealing with bullies, could be a good reader for the classroom, for discussion on bullying issues.
Recommend for reluctant readers.

It has been years since I have picked up a middle grade book and I have to say, I wasn't disappointed with The Wolf's Curse. It brought back a lot of memories from my childhood. I love Franky and Nicole as characters, they are awesome protagonists. Don is lovable and I really like the morals that are taught in the book. If I was a mother, this would be a book that I would like to read to my child and I would recommend it for any middle grade teachers. I can't wait to read the sequel and see how Nicole, Franky and Don grow as characters!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Kid's Story
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2014

Franky, the main character is someone kids will relate to. He feels like an outcast at school, constantly bullied, and suffers the wrath of a tough teacher. Not only does Franky have trouble at school, but also at home. His stepfather and stepbrother bully him, and Franky's always getting blamed for something Scott did. What bothered me most is the way Franky's mother allowed this treatment of him and it made me question her parenting skills. She was always taking her husband and stepson's side, and she would leave Franky at home while the three of them went on vacation. What kind of mother does that?

Anyway getting back to the story, Franky's luck changes during a trip to Ireland. He rescues Don, the leprechaun from a wolf attack. Don provides plenty of humor throughout the book with his wisecracking attitude. The friendship between Franky and Don is well-written, I loved how Don told stories about the history of leprechauns and offers advice to Franky. I also loved the close relationships Franky had with his grandfather, and his best friend Nicole. Aside from Don, those are the only two people who really understood Franky.

There were some parts in the book that slowed me down, for instance the golf scene with Franky and his grandfather seemed to drag on a bit, along with the airport scenes. The ending hints at a sequel and I can't wait to read it to find out what happens with Don, Franky, and Nicole.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. The two main characters here are young but have both been through some very trying times in which helps them to understand each other better. This book is filled with leprachauns, fairies and other worldly things. This book can also teach a lesson some find hard to learn about love, life, bullying and even death. the author took this book along with many of the problems kids face today and made it a wonderful insightful read whats bad is I didnt realize I was learning until the end.

I really did enjoy this book from start to finish. The writing style brought Franky to life in an adorable way - a wonderful, brave and decent character (I don't know if I could be as generous in the search for justice). I did not like the stepfather, stepbrother of mother - I hope that this story continues to put things right!

Overall a good story for all ages.
