Chester, who has been reading avidly about the paranormal, predicts that they will soon be traveling someplace, and chances are they are not going to like it. Indeed they are not, as the very next day, the Monroes leave for their vacation, dropping Chester, Harold, and Howie off at the scene of some previous harrowing experiences - Chateau Bow-Wow, the boarding kennel that Chester so aptly had dubbed "Howliday Inn." And this visit promises to be no less harrowing than the last one.

From Publishers Weekly
About the latest romp starring the inimitable Bunnicula gang, PW noted, "The author generously peppers this caper with his trademark puns and snappy one-liners. Howe's fans will find this as scrumptiously silly as his critters' earlier adventures." Ages 8-12.

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-- Once again the Monroes board their three pets at Chateau Bow Wow, a place their overimaginative cat, Chester, appropriately renamed Howliday Inn. Chester and Harold, a normally sensible but slightly lethargic dog, return to the kennel with trepidation while puppy Howie enthusiastically anticipates a visit to his birthplace. They soon meet the eccentric new residents of the kennel: a sorrowful Great Dane named Hamlet; two yuppie dogs, Bob and Linda; two thuglike cats named Felonie and Miss Demeanor; and a hymn-singing weasel named, appropriately enough, The Weasel. As Hamlet tells of his feared abandonment by his elderly master, they hear ghostly calls for help coming from underground. The animals uncover the remains and spirit of a dog named Rosebud, who tells them of her death in the kennel office and warns them to escape. Few readers will appreciate Howe's many clever puns that often rely on political and literary references, and the plot is thinner and the ending less convincing than previous entries with this cast. However, this book retains their winning components: fast-paced action with an element of mystery; eccentric animal characters (caricatures really); and humorous dialogue. It's an unbeatable combination. --Maggie McEwen, formerly at Coffin Elem . School, Brunswick, ME

Its like bones talking from the dead!!!
I absolutly love this book! It is an amazing tale of laughter and fright. The way the dogs (and cats) piece it together is amazing. The fright is bone chilling and the laughter is hilarious. It is the best book I have ever read with the Weasel, 2 wierd cats and way, way more!

THIS BOOK IS SOOOOO COOL!
This book is about Harold, Chester and Howie going back to Chateau Bow-Wow where Howie was first born. They meet some mysterious animals at their stay. Even more mysterious is Rosebud, the ghost and her warning about the secret of Howliday Inn.

One of my favorite books as kid!
I actually read this book before the original Howliday Inn, and I still think I like it better. I must have read it at least twenty times, because it never failed to make me laugh out loud, and still does! I loved animal characters, and the ones here are so clever, and the dialogue is unbelievably witty for a kid's book. Some of the humor, like the Shakespeare references, I didn't get until I was much older. "A 700-page first novel entitled Ah, Life!"
