When you set foot in an abandoned village, it can be quite a shock to realize you aren't quite alone...

Good news! Fun-loving, adventure-finding Steve is going on vacation! Bad news – it's with the school! Not only will Steve have to endure the snore-worthy teachings of Mr. Notch, he also has to contend with Donnie Buggs – the meanest school bully around. Steve is heartened when his lady wolf Bob is able to go on vacation with them though – perhaps Buggs will be less likely to be so rotten with a full grown wolf staring him down.

But, suddenly, Bob has gone missing, and it's up to Dork Steve and his loyal friend Alex to hunt her down. As much as he would like to avoid to go, Steve knows that Bob has gone missing in a creepy abandoned village not too far from the camp site.
