Welcome to the extremely abnormal, weird and wacky, utterly absurd world of WILEY & GRAMPA'S CREATURE FEATURES, a hoot-out-loud early reader series.

Suddenly, Grampa's growing fangs and howling at the full moon--he's transformed into a were-yote (half man, half coyote)--and escapes into the night! Can Merle's keen sense of smell help Wiley track down the elusive half beast/half old guy? Will Grampa get his revenge on the mangy mascot? Only Dr. Hans Lotion knows how to reverse Grampa's curse--but will he do it?

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I discovered this series through my 9-year-old. I pick up books for him to look at, ones that I hope will catch his eye. While we were stranding in the waiting room at the doctor's office awaiting results of my wife's x-rays, he read the book to me. I read my book and he read his. Until he started laughing outloud and insisted on reading the book to me.
As it turns out, Wiley has to travel to a soccer game in Carpathia County, Texas. The team there looks like a group of vampires, werewolves, and monsters. They lose horribly. Worst of all, Grampa gets into a fight with the Carpathian mascot (he always gets into fights with mascots) and gets bitten.
Back home, Grampa starts acting weird. It doesn't take Wiley long to figure out that Grampa has turned into a werewolf. The dogcatcher can't catch Grampa, and the sewing circle ladies (who turn out to be monster hunters arms with crossbows) are determined to kill him. Wiley soon finds out that the only hope he has of saving his Grampa is to get the soccer team together and somehow beat the Carpathian team in a rematch.
The book is filled with illustrations and inventive wordplay, as well as humorous situations that come out of the plot. If you have a son or know a boy who is a reluctant reader, this is a series geared for them. |
