Leader of the Pack (50 States of Fear: Colorado)

In the great American tradition of the spooky campfire tale, New York Times bestselling author E.G. Foley presents 50 States of Fear, a frightful-but-funny paranormal series for kids, set in all 50 States! From Civil War ghosts in Alabama to weird Wyoming cowboy legends, there’s always something to scream about in Ahhhh!-merica.

High up in the Rocky Mountains, hit the slopes in sunny Colorado. But watch out for the full moon! Fangs, Fur, and Family Secrets…

Eighth-grader Rusty Kendall comes from a family of winners—doctors, lawyers, senators, CEOs—all with big personalities and huge egos. His rich, powerful grandfather owns the Apex Hotel, a five-star Aspen ski resort. Rusty never really wondered why the whole clan gathers there during every full moon. But when the close-knit Kendalls meet once again for their monthly ritual, he discovers the shocking secret to his family’s success—the killer instinct goes much more than skin deep. At each full moon, all the Kendall men turn into werewolves! What’s worse, now it’s Rusty’s time to join the pack and run wild in the Colorado woods. Horrified, he’ll do anything to escape this gruesome fate. Even if it means going up against the big dog—Grandpa Henry, the ruthless leader of the pack.
