When Nat's grandfather offers to buy him a dog, Nat never expects a pet like Woody, a creature that "looked as though it owed its origins more to Dr. Frankenstein than Mr. Darwin." Even weirder than Woody's appearance, though, is the dog's habit of turning into a boy!
Summary Nat, with help from family, friends, and his “pet” Woody, a wolf that turns into a boy, must face werewolves that have been altered as part of a dastardly plan.
