Horror High s werewolf cricket team are about the play the game of their lives...When Principal Skullwater bets on the Interghouls' Cricket Cup, the pressure is on the werewolf cricket team. Their team are rubbish, their opponents are pros, and if they lose the match they're expelled from school. Desperate, team captain Jason-Jock Werewolf trawls through his 'magic' book, a publication so shonky I could've written it. It advises they dig up the skeleton of a professional cricketer, grind the bones, and imbibe the slop - and they actually do it. I never claimed they were gifted. Place your bets Imagine a school made up of every kind of ghoul you can imagine, from zombies to werewolves, vampires to grim reapers - that s Horror High!
