Description
The new director at Camp Lone Wolf seems like a nice guy. But when the kids learn the legend of a local boy who disappeared and the wolf that prowls the campgrounds howling in the night, they start to wonder if Camp Lone Wolf is more than just a name. Mr. Jenkins is covered in hair, eats his meat almost raw, and has an obsession with wolves. But could he really be a werewolf?Tags

A silly series that creates more questions than it answers. It's great for formulating theories as well as predictions. The class dynamics should be very familiar to those of the Magic School Bus generation.
This is a great realistic fiction book for beginner readers. It deals with issues such as staying away from home and dealing with people that are different than oneself. It has a wonderful setting that takes place just outside the city in the wilderness.
The director of summer camp is very hairy and wears dog tags. When he goes out at night a lone wolf howls. Is he a werewolf?
The Bailey School Kids are great for boys and girls and the whole series can be accomplished throughout a school year.
Good for kids.
The werewolf is hairy.
