Vernon, Ursula. Dragonbreath: Curse of the Were-Wiener. S.l. : Dial Books, 2010.
Plot: Shortly after his adventures under the sea and in fantasy Japan, Danny Dragonbreath discovers adventures at home. Wendell, his best friend, gets bitten by Danny's lunch, which in itself is not surprising (the potato salad bit the school bully a few months before). However, Wendell starts experiencing hair growth, which is odd for an iguana. Other reptiles at the school begin to grow hair as well. The lunch was tainted by a were-wiener, which will soon transform all affected students into its evil minions. Danny and Wendell must find and stop the alpha-wiener before the entire school is transformed.
Genre: Fantasy
Reading Level: Grades 4-9
Similar Titles: Ricky Ricotta's Giant Robot, The Celery Stalks at Midnight
Personal Thoughts: Unlike the previous Dragonbreath book I read, this title focuses more on myth and urban legends rather than biology. Still, the title offers a quick, quirky story told by a combination of images and text.
