RETURN TO AUGIE HOBBLE, by Lane Smith
The story: Augie Hobble is a funny kid, but un-funny stuff keeps happening to him. Bullies, weird stuff at his dad’s amusement park–and a possible run-in with not only a werewolf, but a ghost as well. Don’t let the “day at the rundown old park” start fool you: this book goes directly from fort-building in the woods to possible werewolves howling at the moon, from buddy story to sucker-punch tragedy, and all the way back again.
Mrs. Friend’s opinion: Be prepared for a story that’s changing all the time, and going in ways you don’t expect! If you like true randomness, make friends with Augie Hobble.
