luther elementary school just got a lot, um, weirder

Zanimals: The Beginning Stuff

From the back cover of Tanzen and the Yellow Light:


Luther Elementary School seems normal enough – until students start having dreams about a jungle and wake up exhausted, like they just competed in battle. 


Tanzen wakes up for the first day of fifth grade from a weird dream and notices orange and black fur on his arms. He overcomes his awkwardness to see if his Best Friends Forever for Life (BFFFLs) have been having the same dreams – and discovers they are also slowly showing signs of shifting into different animal forms. Unfortunately, they aren’t the only ones at Luther that have something new for show and tell.


Their teacher, Mr. Cherry, recruits Tanzen, Amaya, Leo, and Jay during a schoolwide activity known as the Zanimal Games, but they soon realize that the other students that can shift aren’t playing around. When one of the BFFFLs gets captured and sent to the Zanimal World, Tanzen and his crew know they have no choice but to take the leap to rescue their friend. But, with almost zero time to train due to a surprise attack from inside the schoolhouse, they have no clue if they will be ready for the challenges that await. 


Two-headed killer whales, mind-reading prairie dogs, wolves, piranhas, and pumas around every corner – these are the Zanimals, powerful shifters that are programmed to cause as much destruction on Earth as possible. And the BFFFLs are now in their World. Can Tanzen and his group work together through impossible odds to save one of their own, and the rest of the world… in between classroom chaos, cooties, and cafeteria food?
