**The Bad Guys: Book 1** is the first book in the series. It was published on July 1, 2015 in Australia, and December 27, 2016 in the United States.

## Synopsis

They sound like bad guys, they look like bad guys... and they even smell like bad guys. But Mr. Wolf, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Snake, and Mr. Shark are about to change all of that...

Mr. Wolf has a plan for the Bad Guys' first good mission to turn into good guys. They are going to break 200 dogs out of the City Dog Pound with Maximum Security. Will Operation Dog Pound go smoothly, or rough? Will the Bad Guys become the Good Guys? And will Mr. Snake please stop swallowing Mr. Piranha?!

## Plot

Mr. Wolf tells us that even though he looks like a bad guy in his fairy tales, it's all lies. Then he says he has friends who have the same problem and they arrive, starting with Mr. Snake, who tells Wolf that Snake has mice to eat (which Wolf thinks is a joke and gives him cake instead). Then, Mr. Piranha arrives asking where the meat is (and Wolf also thinks it's a joke and gives him cake instead, too). Lastly, Mr. Shark arrives and asks if Wolf has any seals. Mad at their past behavior, Wolf tells them to sit down and explain why he invited them (and that means us, too).

After a short argument, Wolf tells his friends he assembled a team called the Good Guys Club(Which everyone except Wolf thinks it's a stupid name). Before anyone can convince him not to do anything, he drives them off looking for danger. A while later (and after Piranha lets off some gas), they find a cat stuck in a tree. The Bad Guys try to get it down, first by smiling sweetly and saying, "Here Kitty Kitty Kitty", but they makes the cat scream due to their sharp teeth. Shark tries (but without smiling sweetly) but the cat screams even louder. Then Piranha yells, "Hey you! Get down here or I'll shimmy up that tree and bite you on your furry little butt!" That just makes the cat scream its head off (not literally). So Wolf climbs up on Shark's head and swings Snake, whose holding Piranha in his mouth. Wolf keeps swinging Snake, and for all that time, Piranha keeps calling Snake names, until Snake eats Piranha. Furiously, Wolf swings Snake around in circles until Piranha shoots out of his mouth and lands on the cat. The cat screams so hard, he jumps out of the tree and lands in Wolf's paws. Then the cat scratches Wolf and runs off in panic.

Later, Wolf has a new plan called "Operation Dog Pound", where they will release 200 dogs from the Dog Pound. He tells him his plan, which involves Shark disguising himself as a little girl who has a missing dog. Then Wolf attaches Snake and Piranha to a grappling hook and throws it through the window once all the cages are open(but misses like 10 times!). The dogs are so scared, they run the left side, which Shark was there and scared the daylights out of them, so they break through the wall and race out of the dog pound (and while leaving, they call Piranha a sardine).

In the last chapter, Wolf still believes he rescued the dogs and drives away with his friends.
