from everyone else? Like there's no one quite like you? Then you might be special! Take this quiz to find out!

Are you sometimes wild and crazy?” Then, “Do people run away when they see your furry face and pointy teeth?” No? Then you're not a werewolf! This pattern repeats for several fantastical creatures --- unicorns, dragons, mermaids --- until finally children are reassured: they are special, “because you're YOU!” A one-of-a-kind book for every one-of-a-kind kid!This Is the Path the Wolf Took

Are his stories boring? Why does it seem like there's always something missing? True fact about stories: they need a bit of bad to be good!
