    Barnaby Grimes is a tick-tock lad.  He’ll deliver any message for any client, anywhere, anytime.  He’s the fastest
    messenger around and he’ll even climb on rooftops to deliver his messages on time.  

    One night, while Barnaby is traveling by rooftop, he is attacked by a huge wolf-like beast.  When Barnaby’s friend,
    Old Benjamin, disappears, Barnaby suspects the wolf had something to do with it and sets out to discover the truth,
    meeting a cast of strange characters along the way.  

    CURSE OF THE NIGHT WOLF is the first in the new BARNABY GRIMES series from the authors of THE EDGE
    CHRONICLES.  The story combines mystery, history, horror, action-adventure, and the paranormal into a perfectly
    scary story for tweens.  The black and white drawings add a chilling effect to the story.  The characters are brilliantly
    drawn and the villain is perfectly evil.  

    Barnaby’s story will continue in RETURN OF THE EMERALD SKULL, and from the preview in my copy of
    CURSE OF THE NIGHT WOLF, his adventures are going to get much scarier!
