Freddy Lupin manages to convince the pack elders to let him sit the Howlington Academy's entrance test; Freddy must use all his poodle wits and his best friend Batty's help, to win a place at the historically wolf-only academy.

On the first day of school, Freddy comes into conflict with bully Ivan, who blackmails him into stealing the sacred moonstone.

Freddy attempts to teach Batty how to be human, while searching for a cure for her new form; a class assignment to capture the mysterious Golden Horn and prove who the alpha wolf is goes awry when a wilderwolf attacks!

Freddy becomes convinced that there is a wilderwolf at Howlington and launches a daring investigation to prove that it is the school accountant, Mr. Sminch; Howlington also gets a new teacher, the super cool and charming Ric Rawls.

The kids are struck down by a flea infestation, and Freddy and Batty are tasked with tracking down the mysterious Doog, keeper of the Fleaminator, a powerful flea treatment, before they are all expelled.

The kids head out on their first excursion to Night Patrol HQ; Freddy gets pulled into Scarlet's world as she gets closer to the truth about werewolves and the two bond when they get stuck in the forest while tracking a wolf.
