    Aug 1 2024
    So, Mike and Rory wrote a book. It's a weird book. It's a chapter book. It's a weird chapter book. It's a weird chapter book about a strange, wonderful town called Piffle Park where a group of kids helps bring the town together by supporting one of their friends who believes, perhaps correctly, that he is a werewolf. We think it's a super fun read that all ages can enjoy and we hope you enjoy this first chapter as well as Cecilia's research about werewolves in history.
