The first story in a fantastic new trilogy, "The Howling Tower" follows Benjamin Wildfire, the feisty protagonist, who runs away from his cruel bear owner with mad Mops, the girl-next-door. They are determined to find the fabled Hide Park (a place where it's said humans run free) but instead they are caught by a sap-catcher (saps are what bears call humans) and taken to Howling-Tower, a prison-like place of training, and it turns out, evil experimentation. It takes all of Benjamin's ingenuity to survive, but will he manage to escape
