The third story about Little Wolf finds the protagonist again planning to open a school--an academy teaching spooky "secret powers." The ghost of Uncle Bigbad scares away prospective pupils, then challenges Little Wolf to find a creature brave enough to stand up to him. Presented as a series of letters and amusing drawings, the book's intentional misspellings, malaproprisms, and baby talk become tedious.
