When a mysterious baron in far-off Brugaria sends for Bolt, he wonders if he's 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 couldn't get any worse . . . until midnight, when the Baron bites Bolt and turns him into a half boy, half penguin. Then things <i>really</i> couldn't get worse-- nope, wait, they get a lot worse. With the help and hindrance of a plucky girl who just might be the world's 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 can't stop cackling, Bolt's 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 you've ever read.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An NPR Best Book! <p/>Imagine Mary Shelley had a preoccupation with zoos, a sense of humor and bad allergies, then commiserated with Roald Dahl and Mel Brooks to write a story for upper elementary school kids, and you would have <i>The Curse of the Werepenguin.--NPR </i> <p/><i>Young Frankenstein</i> meets <i>The Princess Bride</i> in the most hysterically hilarious book I've read in years. --Chris Grabenstein, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author <p/>A bonkers delight that will make you laugh out loud. --Adam Rex, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author <p/>Delightfully wacky, cleverly absurd, and frighteningly hilarious.
