Werewolves Don’t Need Babysitters

In this sequel to Werewolves Don’t Keep Diaries, Lou thought werewolf training was his biggest problem… But his parents decided his older brothers should be the ones to train him, and of course, they’re full of their usual pranks. Then when his parents announce they’re going away unexpectedly and they’re not getting a babysitter—just his brothers!—Lou figures it’ll be awful. Especially with the extra worry of Honeybunch the vampire out there waiting for another chance to strike.

At first, being alone with his brothers is better than expected. And Lou feels safer now that Madam Sand (their witch neighbor) has put a protective spell around the house. But when his brothers test his patience one too many times, and the charm gets shattered (along with their living room window), Lou knows the Honeybunch showdown is unavoidable. And he’ll have to bring all his bravery and smarts to save the day, and show his brothers what he’s made of.
