A full-moon camping dilemma

The Spooky Scouts’ annual camping trip becomes a test of secrecy for Luna, a wolf pup who fears her full-moon transformation will make her troop see her as a weirdo. Her plan to prevent it draws on her scouting skills, bringing the book’s camping adventure together with questions of belonging, bravery, and friendship. The setup gives young readers a playful supernatural premise rooted in a familiar childhood worry: how others might respond to a part of you that feels different.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy picture books with spooky or supernatural elements.
  • Young readers interested in camping adventures, friendship, and stories about feeling different.

Book overview

When a camping trip falls under the full moon, wolf girl Luna schemes to hide her transformation from her fellow Spooky Scouts in this sweet and playfully subversive debut picture book perfect for fans of I'm Not Scary and Hardly Haunted.

Tonight is the annual Spooky Scouts' camping trip, and wolf pup Luna can't contain her excitement. But when the forecast calls for a full moon, her delight turns to dread. Because Luna has a secret: every full moon, she transforms into something...strange--a creature so beastly and bizarre it's sure to give her whole troop the ick!

If she doesn't want to be branded a weirdo, Luna must use all her scouting skills to stop the transformation before it starts. And hopefully in time for s'mores. Full of camping adventure and unexpected surprises, Luna's efforts to hide lead to new discoveries about friendship, bravery, and the true Spooky Scout spirit.
