About First Night of Howlergarten

First Night of Howlergarten book cover. A large pale yellow full moon takes up most of the cover resting above a hill where a small girl stands at the summit. She is showing her head back in a howl and you see her shadow cast on the moon shaped like a wolf. The title is in green on the hill.

First-day-of-school jitters take on a whole new meaning at howlergarten, where future werewolves prepare for their big transformation!

Most kids go to kindergarten, but there is a special place for those who turn into werewolves. Instead of attending school during the day, these supernatural students go to howlergarten at night! There they practice tracking scents, listening to whispers on the wind, and more. But when one student named Sophie doesn't seem to possess the basic skills, she worries she won't become a werewolf at all. What will happen if she remains human when the full moon appears? Will she still be accepted as part of the pack, or will she be cast aside as an ordinary outsider?

Orders placed after Monday, September 18th are not guaranteed to be personalized and may just be a signature only depending on availability. 

Please note - there is NO GIFT WRAPPING available for any school orders.
