1-3Werewolf Club series.
Illustrated by
Jill Pinkwater.
In Dorkula, the Watson Elementary School Werewolf Club suspects their newest member Henry Count Dorkula (a fruitpire) of consuming all the fruit in town. In Hound, the gang solves the curse of Basketball Hall--a gassy hound that "terrorizes" the Hall's inhabitants. While the simplistic illustrations add little to the narrative, Pinkwater's easy writing is fast paced, action packed, and full of corny humor. [Review covers these Werewolf Club titles: The Werewolf Club Meets Dorkula, The Werewolf Club Meets the Hound of the Basketballs.]
