Gr 2-5-In this second installment of Pinkwater's offbeat series, Billy Furball has been banned from the cafeteria for having a food fight with himself. He, his fellow members of the Watson Elementary School Werewolf Club, and their faculty advisor make their way to Honest Tom's Tibetan-American Lunchroom where they get to know some mighty bizarre customers, maybe even stranger than they are. After an encounter with the kooky and skeptical school psychiatrist, scary and horrible things begin to happen. The Pinkwaters have created another winning chapter book that will appeal to first and second graders' warped sense of humor, and will attract older reluctant readers. The black-and-white cartoons and werewolf play on words add more fun and humor to an already entertaining title. A howling good addition to chapter-book collections.-Betsy Barnett, Eads School District, CO Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
