A Spooky Series

When author Dan Greenburg asks kids what kinds of stories they like, they always say funny, scary and gross. Greenburg's new series, Secrets of Dripping Fang, is all three. Book One: The Onts hit stores last month. In it, the twins Wally and Cheyenne Shluffmuffin face women who have extra arms and battle a glowing slug that wants to suck their feet off. "I've had more fun writing this than anything I've ever written," Greenburg told TFK. "I'm proud of it."
