A girl and her puppy face down the end of the worldโwhich the puppyโs partly responsible forโin this middle grade story from acclaimed author Greg van Eekhout, perfect for fans of Gordon Korman andย J.C. Cervantes.
When Mott finds a puppy abandoned in a recycling bin, sheโs ready to do everything she can to protect him. What she doesnโt realize, however, is that this is the legendary wolf Fenris, whoโs prophesied to bring about the end of the world by eating the moon.
Now Mott has found herself in charge of making sure the hungry pupโwhoโs busy munching on lampposts, cars, and water towersโdoesnโt see all of California as an appetizer, while also hiding him from the Norse gods who are hot on his trail, determined to see the prophecy come true.
Mott vows to protect Fenris, rescue him from his destiny,ย andย prevent the world from ending. But will she be able to keep her promise? Or has she bitten off more than she can chew?
