A squirrel. A cape. A glow that should NOT exist.
When the family rescues a hurt little squirrel and names her Zippy, their two pets figure life will go on as usual. Jake, the family dog, is a very good boy who is very brave (he will tell you this himself, repeatedly). Bap, the family cat, believes in exactly nothing and is deeply annoyed by everything.
Then Zippy wakes up glowing.
Then the nuts start turning up hollow.
Then the shadows in the backyard start moving the wrong way.
And then Jake and Bap have to accept the thing neither of them wanted to accept: their new tiny sister is a Squirrelacula - a glowing, fanged, cape-wearing accident of magic that a shadow king from another world desperately wants back.
Because the glow wasn't supposed to happen. The magic was meant to find a quiet, obedient little heir to a kingdom of shadows. Instead it hit a hungry squirrel who touched a mysterious glowing thing because, honestly, that's just what squirrels do. Now she's a mutation with a destiny, and the creatures who want her power are already climbing the fence.
To protect her, one dog and one cat have to become something stronger than scared. They have to become a pack.
Told by Jake (a very good boy) with unhelpful commentary from Bap (a very rude cat), Squirrelacula: Origins of Chaos is a laugh-out-loud, shiver-a-little monster adventure about found family, courage in small packages, and glowing against the dark.
Perfect for readers 8-12 who love Bunnicula, The Last Kids on Earth, and Dog Man - and for anyone who has ever looked at a backyard squirrel and thought, what is that thing planning?
Part of the Monsterific series.
