About the Book

"Ted discovers that his wild red hair is actually a gift rather than a curse when he helps his best friend search for the Brookside Beast--a giant raccoon terrorizing the town."--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis

Perfect for fans of Hilo and Lunch Lady, this charming and funny young middle grade graphic novel follows one boy as he discovers that his perceived flaw--wild, red hair--may just be what saves the day.

Ten-year-old Ted just wants
to fit in. But his wild, red hair is a target for school bullies. Fortunately,
he has his best friend, Stacy, to take his mind off all the mean comments. But Stacy
needs Ted's help to uncover the truth of a local urban legend--the elusive giant
raccoon known as the Brookside Beast!

However, after Stacy starts
making new friends, Ted feels more alone and weirder than ever...until Ted
discovers that he has a superpower! His hair can lift, stretch, and catch
anything. For the first time in his life, Ted wonders if his unruly hair is a
gift rather than a curse.
Could it be the one thing that not only helps solve
their town's greatest mystery but also gets his best bud back?
