THRILLS! CHILLS! CRAZY COYOTE-WEREWOLF PEOPLE! WHAT MORE COULD A KID WANT? Welcome to the extremely abnormal, weird and wacky, utterly absurd world of WILEY & GRAMPA'S CREATURE FEATURES, a hoot-out-loud early reader series. In the fourth book in the series, hapless, goofy Grampa and his grandson Wiley are in for another zany adventure: The Gingham County Cracklins--the Texas' 100th ranked soccer team (on a scale of 1-50)--face the Carpathian Coyotes, the number one elementary soccer team in the nation, infamous for their monstrous abilities During the highlight of the game, Grampa's bitten by their mascot in a full-fledged brawl. Suddenly, Grampa's growing fangs and howling at the full moon--he's transformed into a were-yote (half man, half coyote)--and escapes into the night! Can Merle's keen sense of smell help Wiley track down the elusive half beast/half old guy? Will Grampa get his revenge on the mangy mascot? Only Dr. Hans Lotion knows how to reverse Grampa's curse--but will he do it?

Some fossilized dino dooky made its way into the pet food supply, and all of the Gingham County critters who ate it have reverted back to their ancient selves. Merle's a sabre-toothed kitty, Paco the goldfish is now a dangerous Megalodon, Wiley's new pet lizard, Lupe, has become a snarling T-rex, and poor Nate Farkles, the town vet, is up to his ears in dinosaurs. If only Grampa hadn't mistaken a doggy biscuit for a gingerbread cookie, he and Wiley might've had a chance of taming the deadly dinos. But it's never over 'til it's over with this hilarious duo--Grampa may be ancient, but he's agile!
