Alfie the Werewolf is a Dutch children's book series, written by Paul van Loon (De Griezelbus). The original Dutch title of the series is Dolfje Weerwolfje.The series follows the adventures of a boy named Alfie (Dolfje in the original), who discovers he is a werewolf in the night of his seventh birthday. Fortunately for him, his foster family is very open minded about this and supports him in every way possible. He soon discovers being a werewolf runs in his family since his grandfather and cousin Leo are also werewolves. Later in the series, his girlfriend Noura also becomes a werewolf when Alfie accidentally bites her. However, not everyone is equally happy about a werewolf living in their town, like Alfie's neighbor Mrs. Chalker.The series currently consists of 18 regular books, 6 of which have been translated into English, and 6 special books. The books are also translated in many other languages, including German, Korean, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, and Chinese. In the Netherlands, they are very popular among young readers, having won several prizes. Two musicals based on the books have been made and the character has his own magazine. A movie adaption was released in November 2011. | |

| Alfie the Werewolf / int_146f4e0 | comment |
Blind Without 'Em: Alfie. Fortunately for him he only rarely loses his glasses (in fact, the only time he does and the resulting lack of sight puts him in danger is in the eighth book). | |

Not-So-Harmless Villain | |
| Alfie the Werewolf / int_171ef47c | comment |
Not-So-Harmless Villain: Mrs. Chalker clearly gets more evil over the course of the series. In the first book, she appears to be just a grumpy old lady who accidentally discovers Aflie's secret and tries to turn him in to the authorities, but in the fifth book, it becomes clear she has a long history of hunting werewolves, frequently abused her two sisters (one is missing an eye and the other an ear because of her abuse), and trained her younger brother into locating werewolves by treating him like a dog. Also, in the fifth book, she tries to kill Alfie by feeding him to piranhas. It gets even worse when she herself is turned into a werewolf, because in the eighth book, she tries to drain Alfie of all his fear sweat to make belts with which she can turn other people into werewolves, as part of a plan to take over the world. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Alfie the Werewolf / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Leo is one of the biggest and strongest werewolves in the series, yet he frequently is the first one to fall victim to a new enemy. In the fifth book he is the first one to be captured by Mrs. Chalker and her sisters, and in the eighth book he is the first one to be knocked out cold by a mad scientist who turned himself into a giant werewolf. | |

Season Fluidity | |
| Alfie the Werewolf / int_327bebcc | comment |
Season Fluidity: Each book is a stand alone story. There are no longer arcs that span multiple books. On the other hand, there is a strong sense of continuity; if something happens to a main character that permanently affects him/her (like Noura becoming a werewolf), these changes remain in effect for all subsequent books. | |

Haggis Is Horrible: naturally, this trope is brought up when Alfie and family stay in Scotland during the 13th book. When told what exactly Haggis is, Alfie, Noura and Tim don't really feel like eating it anymore. Dad and Leo however enjoy it. | |

You Are What You Hate | |
| Alfie the Werewolf / int_bc502e4b | comment |
You Are What You Hate: Mrs. Chalker from the fifth book onwards. She hates werewolves...and then Alfie turns her into one. Also Gregor, the antagonist of the ninth book. He always states he hates people that are "different", and werewolves in particular, but in the end it is revealed he himself is a werewolf, and hates himself for it. That is, until Alfie and Noura show him how much fun being a werewolf truly is | |

Scheherezade Gambit | |
| Alfie the Werewolf / int_c9d80884 | comment |
Scheherezade Gambit: The main plot of the 14th book involves Alfie using one of these to keep a werewolf hunter from making soup out of him (see "Stewed Alive" below), by telling the hunter tales about some of his earlier adventures. It works. | |

Orphanage of Fear | |
| Alfie the Werewolf / int_cf7ccd79 | comment |
Orphanage of Fear: The Werewolf orphanage run by Alfies grandmother Mooma starts out as one of these, because Mooma is too depressed about having lost the love of her life, the vampire Armando, to really bother to take care of the orphans. When she and Armando are reunited, it becomes an Orphanage of Love instead. | |

| Alfie the Werewolf / int_d2431598 | comment |
Asleep in Class: Happens to Alfie in the fourth book, and it's mentioned that this is not the first time it happens either. Not too surprising considering that Alfie often stays up all night when he is a werewolf. | |

Gym Class Rope Climb | |
| Alfie the Werewolf / int_dcca89a1 | comment |
Gym Class Rope Climb: Is used in the first book to demonstrate how becoming a werewolf has changed Alfie for the better. First he had great trouble with this, but after becoming a werewolf he is suddenly the best rope climber in his class. It earns him the respect of many of his classmates, including Noura (who previously hardly noticed him). | |

Plot Allergy | |
| Alfie the Werewolf / int_e064dc5a | comment |
Plot Allergy: In a story Paul van Loon wrote for the Alfie the Werewolf magazine, which was later published in book form in 2013, Alfie becomes allergic to werewolf fur, of all things. And since it's contagious, soon all other werewolves suffer the same effect. | |

Our Werewolves Are Different | |
| Alfie the Werewolf / int_f8b3fa5d | comment |
Our Werewolves Are Different: On several points. Becoming a werewolf: This runs in Alfie's family. His grandfather is a werewolf, and so is his cousin. But since it skips a generation, his biological parents are not. Werewolves can however also turn other people into werewolves by biting them, and the eighth book introduces special belts which can temporarily turn people into werewolves. Behavior: In werewolf form Alfie maintains his human personality and ability of speech most of the time, except when he gets really angry or when he develops a case of werewolf hunger, which can only be solved by eating some sort of meat. Appearance: Sometimes Alfie keeps his clothes on and walks on just two legs like an anthropomorphic wolf, while other times he sheds his clothes and walks on four legs like a real wolf. Transformation: Alfie and most other werewolves only transforms during the full moon and the nights before and after it, but old werewolves like his grandfather and grandmother can transform whenever they want to and even stay in wolf form all the time. The only exception to this is in the third book, when Alfie transforms even without a full moon because he is so happy about the fact that his foster family officially adopted him. | |

Selkies and Wereseals: A selkie plays an important role in the book Meermonster (translated "Lake Monster"). In the story, the protagonist finds a Selkie and sets out to return the creature to its home in Scotland. It is mentioned several times throughout the story that Selkies can turn into humans, however this particular selkie turns out to be a special kind that eventually transforms into the Loch Ness Monster. | |
