So, Mr Wolf takes in 3 other popular villains and forms the team of Bad Guys, who will take on good missions under the leadership of Mr Wolf. At the start of the book’s story, it shows that Mr Wolf, who is a famous villain from a fairy tale, takes up the decision of becoming good one day. In order to fulfill his intention successfully, he decides to recruit several other villains for helping him out. Among his new recruits there is Mr Snake, also known as Chicken Swallower, Mr Shark, also called Jaws, and Mr Piranha, who is also referred to as Butt Biter. The team calls itself Ole Wolfie and seems determined to take up heroic missions with the intention of reforming their bad images.

The very first good deed that the team decides to carry out is to rescue a cat stuck on a tree. Along the way of accomplishing this mission, the team encounters several small stumbling blocks.

The next interesting installment of this hilarious series is called ‘Episode 2 : Mission Unpluckable’. It was also published by the Scholastic Australia publishers in 2015. At the beginning of the story of the book, it is mentioned that the newly turned Good Guys take up the mission of rescuing 10 thousand chickens, who seem to have been imprisoned by a cruel owner. In this humble mission, one more member named Mr Tarantula gets added to the Bad Guys team, who assists them in rescuing the chickens. Just like the previous book, this novel too is filled with numerous elements of good humor. Author Blabey seems to have done another wonderful job in coming up with the story of this book. It is equally brilliant and hilarious as the series’ first installment. The character that appears to be the most hilarious is Mr Snake. He brings comedy, madness, and ridiculousness in the story by swallowing and spitting out Mr Piranha, and also by farting every now and then. This novel turned out to be yet another great adventure that author Blabey carried forward in the next books of this series.
