All orphan Bolt Wattle has ever wanted was to find his true family. When
a mysterious baron in far-off Brugaria sends for Bolt, he wonders if
he's getting closer to finding his long-lost parents. But Baron Chordata
appears to be a twelve-year-old boy who wears tuxedos all the time,
shouts at everyone, and forbids Bolt from asking questions. Things
couldn't get any worse . . . until midnight, when the Baron bites Bolt
and turns him into a half boy, half penguin. Then things really
couldn't get worse-- nope, wait, they get a lot worse. With the help and
hindrance of a plucky girl who just might be the world's greatest
bandit, a whale cult led by a man whose weapon is a stale loaf of French
bread, and a sinister but friendly fortune-teller who can't stop
cackling, Bolt's on a quest to reverse the curse, return to human form,
and stop the Baron from taking over the country of Brugaria with his
army of mind-controlled penguins in what might be the weirdest--and
funniest--middle-grade novel you've ever read.
