Werewolves, wacky creatures and lots of crazy humour - sounds like another hilarious series from Jackie French!! Ages 8-10 Boojum Bark is a werewolf - and a hero. He doesn't really want to be, but it's the only way he'll save his mum. 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 8 - 10
The sequel to LESSONS FOR A WEREWOLF WARRIOR - continuing the crazy adventures of Boo, werewolf and hero-in-the making. Ages: 8 - 12

And he'll need help from his friends: mysterious Yesterday, gorgeous Princess Princess Sunbeam Caresse of Pewke, Mug the down-to-earth zombie, and Squeak the warrior mouse. But the Ghastly Otherwhen isn't what Boo expects! And his friends start acting strangely, too ... What is the bond between Yesterday and her dinosaurs? And why won't she let Boo rescue her from slavery? Can Mug really be as dumb as he looks, or is it a clever zombie disguise? And could Princess Princess be an actual Hero underneath her cowardly exterior? the bogeys are scarier - and the food is grosser than ever - it's Jackie French at her hilarious best! Ages 8 - 12
