The madcap debut adventure of a boy and his pet werewolf!Snaggly teeth, patchy white fur, glowing orange eyes: Woody is a far "cry" from cute. Yet Nat is strangely drawn to the rough mutt that howls at the moon. And before long, Nat learns that Woody's not a dog at all -- he's a WOLVEN: the last of a noble breed of lycan, a shape-shifter that changes from beast to boy without much warning! But Nat's not the only one wise to Woody's secret: Rogue government agents have picked up his scent. They're on the hunt to trap him and turn him into a hairy new breed of bioweapon! To battle a mad scientist and his mutant werewolf goons, Nat and Woody have to use their brains...and their brawn!
