A humorous retelling of the fairy tale as told from the point of view of the misunderstood wolf, who suffers from "uncontrollable breathing syndrome" and really just wants to be friends.

Julie, the new girl in town, overcomes her loneliness when she befriends and agrees to hide Storm, a magic wolf disguised as an Old English Sheepdog puppy, until he is ready to challenge his pack rival.

In this original version of the traditional tale, the three little pigs are in their usual trouble with the somewhat bad wolf--who is really just very hungry and frustrated that the pizza parlor will not serve him.

"You think you know the story of Cinderella? Did you know that she really has three stepsisters, and that Cinderella herself isn't actually very nice? The youngest Ugly sister, Gertie, is very kind, though she's told she'll have to act mean and bad like the rest of her family if she wants to go to the ball. Will Gertie learn to act like a true Ugly in time?"--Jacket.
