Dragonbreath: Curse of the Were-weiner

Title: Dragonbreath: Curse of the Were-Weiner
Author: Ursula Vernon
Publication Date: September 2010
ISBN 13: 978-0803734692

Danny Dragonbreath wakes up one morning with fearful forebodings that something is wrong.  When his best friend Wendel gets bitten by his hotdog, a were-weiner from Transylvania, Danny's inarticulate fears come to pass.  It isn't long before other kids at school begin to exhibit the same symptons as Wendel.  Danny knows it's up to him to kill the were-wiener.  Can he face his fears and save his friends? 

Vernon's illustrations are great if the conversation is, at times, a little lacking.  She is liberal in her use of neologisms and does a fair job of capturing coloquial speech.  Both funny, and a little frightening, this book might be recommended to fans of Babymouse or Captain Underpants.
