Simon Thorn and the Wolf's Den

(4) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Simon, who can talk to animals, is lonely until he discovers he's actually an Animalgam, able to shift to animal form. Whisked to the Leading Animalgam Institute for the Remarkable (L.A.I.R.) in the Central Park Zoo, Simon meets new family members and encounters unexpected enemies as he hops from adventure to adventure. Action trumps character development in this apparent series-starter.
