[edit] Publisher's note:
Some pretty creepy things are happening around Fever Swamp; strange howling sounds, dead animals, disappearing hunters. Everyone thinks Grady's new dog is responsible, but Grady knows differently.
[edit] Overview:
Grady and his family move into a creepy house next to fever Swamp. He befriends another boy, Will and the two of them often explore Fever Swamp Together. However, strange howls are heard at night and dead animals turn up in the morning after. Grady finds and convinces his parents to let him keep a large wolf-like stray dog for a pet which he names Wolf. When something has broken into the deer pen in Grady's yard and killed one of the animals, Grady's father decides that the stray must be destroyed. Grady helps the dog flee before the father can capture it. That night, Grady hears the howling again and explores Fever Swamp to get to the bottom of things. He encounters Will, who shortly turns into a wolf under the full moon. The newly changed werewolf bites Grady, but the assault is cut short when Wolf attacks and chases Will away. Grady's father relents and allows his son to keep Wolf upon hearing that the dog rescued the boy. On the night of the next full moon, Grady transforms into a wolf and joins his pet in exploring the swamp together.
