Lessons for a Werewolf Warrior

2009

Boojum Bark is a werewolf—and a hero. He doesn't really want to be a hero, but it's in the family. Now he has to go to Hero School to learn the Right Way to achieve hero status. Werewolves are at the bottom of the pecking order when it comes to heroes—especially when they lift their legs on the doorpost and do outrageous things on stage in the middle of school assembly. But something strange is happening at the School for Heroes. Could the school be under attack? If so, by whom? And who will protect it? Can Boojum sniff out the perpetrators? Join the funniest assortment of strange (but heroic!) characters ever to attend one school as they try to find out what being a hero really means. Ages 7 - 10.
