The fun and poignant story set in 1954 follows the adventures of Skipper McCready, a new Badger Scout whose life is a big mess. His grumpy next-door neighbor is upset with him all the time; his friend Sally Ann is obsessed with being a girl detective; and his best friend, Lucky, a dog, has gone missing. To top it all off, his mother wants him to befriend the new weird kid in Rolling Meadows, Jonathan Van, a bookish boy with outlandish tales of his monster-hunting father.
With his scout survival guide in hand, Skipper sets off with his friends to solve the mystery of Lucky’s disappearance. Is it really possible there’s a werewolf loose, or are Jonathan’s monster-filled tales too incredible to believe? (From Dramatic Publishing)
