What is a Hodag, you ask? Apparently, the Hodag is based on folklore emerging from Wisconsin (according to Wikipedia, anyways) and it is described as having “the head of a frog, the grinning face of a giant elephant, thick short legs set off by huge claws, the back of a dinosaur, and a long tail with spears at the end” (see Wikipedia for original sources). A mystery begins to brew when Karly and George discover some human remains in the forest, along with a menacing presence, which they discover, with the help of their Aunt Heather, is a mythical Hodag. In this story, that would be Karly (aka, “Girlpup” from George’s perspective), a 12 year old girl who also happens to be a greenwitch-in-training. George is Karly’s “familiar” or an animal that has a special connection to a human. George Knows is a hilarious story told from the perspective of a self-centered, egotistical basset hound who is an absolute riot.
