Part of The Bad Guys, book 16
First published 2022
Wolf and his crew thought they had figured out this hero business. They were wrong. The Bad Guys now face situations that make their previous adventures look normal. A bat who shares way too much personal information has joined their chaotic world. Deep in the forest lurks a terrifying new enemy who makes their past villains seem friendly. Meanwhile, a small but oddly self-assured character sporting a mullet has appeared, bringing his own brand of strangeness to the mix. Wolf, Snake, Shark, and Piranha must navigate these bizarre new challenges while still trying to prove they can be good guys. The forest holds secrets that will test everything they think they know about being heroes. As the weirdness escalates, the team discovers that doing good deeds gets a lot more complicated when reality itself starts getting strange.
