Swearwolves by Steve Worland

Kids love naughty, parents love safe – and Swearwolves delivers both.

Luna Wilkinson wants to stand out – but not like this.

Something that lurks in the dark and shadowy woods behind her house just bit her.

Rude. And also, extremely unhygienic.

Now she’s the victim of an ancient curse that forces her to blurt out every swear word in the dictionary (as well as a few she’s pretty sure aren’t in any dictionary).

Yes, she’s become a walking, talking agent of chaos and she can’t turn it off. Major ick.

She only has three days to undo the curse or she’ll be stuck swearing her head off forever.
