Sixth-grader Evan is turning into one of the Wuftoom, large wormlike creatures that live in the sewers beneath the city. He resists his transformation by forming an alliance with the Wuftoom enemy Vitflies. Characters lack depth and some aspects of the story are dealt with superficially, but the premise will absolutely intrigue fans of the bizarre and creepy.
