This story is about a boy named Grady who just moved into a house near an eerie swamp because his parents are researchers who are trying to find out if a certain type of deer can survive there. Soon Grady finds a stray dog and names him Wolf. Ever since, some "creature" has been killing the deer that Grady's parents are studying and also the other animals living in the swamp. Everyone suspects Wolf, but Grady thinks that the beast killing the animals is "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp." I liked this book because it is very suspenseful and fast-moving. I also like the Goosebumps books because the endings are very unexpected.
