Dragonbreath

Curse of the Were-Weiner by Ursula Vernon  204 pp.

This is book three in the Dragonbreath series. Once again Danny Dragonbreath and his best friend Wendell, the iguana find themselves battling an unreal foe. This time the school lunchroom has been invaded by Were-weiners, strange, bright red hot dogs who bite and spread lycanythropy. Wendell is bitten by his lunch and the boys have only a few days to defeat the Alpha-weiner and save Wendell and his classmates from turning into ravenous hairy monsters. But how are two young boys going to do this? What could they do but seek out the evil potato salad that lives in the sewers (see book one) and ask for its help.

This series is silly fun for kids with much to make adults giggle including a reference to Joseph Campbell spinning in his grave.
