Being a kid is hard enough without accidentally turning into a rhinoceros.
Meet August Kirkland. His life usually revolves around avoiding homework, playing video games, and eating as much food as humanly possible. But ordinary life ends the night he and his brilliant best friend, Blakely, decide to sneak into the local zoo to investigate mysterious green lights and strange animal behavior.
Their stealth mission goes sideways when they stumble upon a secret experiment involving a laser, a breakdancing gorilla, and a couple of bad dudes. In the chaos, August gets zapped by a mysterious device, granting him a wild new super-power: the ability to shapeshift into any animal just by saying its name.
Now, August is the only thing standing between the zoo and the bad guys plans of creating an army of super powered animals. With Blakely by his side and a whole zoo's worth of potential transformations, August must master his new abilities if he hopes to help the animals.
Can he stop the villains, save his classmates, and make it home in time for dinner?
Join the wild adventure in August Saves the Zoo, the first book in the hilarious new series for readers who love action, animals, and laughing until milk comes out of their nose.
