Boojum Bark is a werewolf and a student at the School for Heroes, where lessons include learning how to wham! Bam! Powie! your enemy into submission. And if that doesn't work, a bit of zombie spaghetti combat might finish the job.
When Boo's mother is kidnapped by the Greedle - the most evil bogey in the known universes - Boo needs the help of his friends to find her.
Like Boo, his friends are trainee heroes with a few surprises up their sleeves. Yesterday brings with her a troupe of dancing dinosaurs who will tango with you before they bite your head off. The gorgeous Princess Princess Sunbeam Caresse of Pewké is having a crisis of nerves, which isn't much use when you want to be a hero. Mug the zombie keeps losing limbs and having to sew them back on.
But when Boo leads them into the Ghastly Otherwhen - home of the Greedle and his bogey henchmen - to rescue his mum, he gets a shock. He also has a few questions to answer.
Why do the villagers scream in horror every time Boo lifts his leg?
What excuse will Princess Princess give this time for refusing to Wham! Bam! Pow! the bogeys?
When will Mug get his mutant zombie spaghetti under control?
And how exactly do you dance with a dinosaur - and keep your head?
Ages: 8-12
