Description
"Young Frankenstein meets The Princess Bride in the most hysterically hilarious book Ive read in years."--Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author
All orphan Bolt Wattle has ever wanted was to find his true family. When a mysterious baron in far-off Brugaria sends for Bolt, he wonders if hes getting closer to finding his long-lost parents. But Baron Chordata appears to be a twelve-year-old boy who wears tuxedos all the time, shouts at everyone, and forbids Bolt from asking questions. Things couldnt get any worse . . . until midnight, when the Baron bites Bolt and turns him into a half boy, half penguin. Then things really couldnt get worse-- nope, wait, they get a lot worse. With the help and hindrance of a plucky girl who just might be the worlds greatest bandit, a whale cult led by a man whose weapon is a stale loaf of French bread, and a sinister but friendly fortune-teller who cant stop cackling, Bolts on a quest to reverse the curse, return to human form, and stop the Baron from taking over the country of Brugaria with his army of mind-controlled penguins in what might be the weirdest--and funniest--middle-grade novel youve ever read.
