One of the drawbacks in running a one-woman garage was that I had to stop and start every time the phone rang or a customer stopped by. I was burrowed under the engine compartment of a Jetta, settling a rebuilt transmission into its new home. ![]() So when someone made a polite noise near my feet to get my attention I thought he was a customer. My nose isn't at its best when surrounded by axle grease and burnt oil-and it's not like there are a lot of stray werewolves running around. ![]() I didn't realize he was a werewolf at first. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Darius’ grandfather becomes terminally ill, Darius, along with his parents and younger sister, travels to Iran for the first time in his life. 12 & up)ĭarius Kellner suffers from depression, bullying by high school jocks, and a father who seems to always be disappointed in him.
