The Ugly Butterfly by Carl Shannon (Paperback)

Sometimes, there is no choice

Ricky Sims finds himself cornered after embarrassing the school bully, Kristian. Ricky takes off running as Kristian tries to hunt him down in an enraged pursuit. Heart pounding, out of breath, and in a frenzy, Ricky seeks refuge. In his plight, Ricky sees a rusted old sign that stretches across a dirt trail. It reads, Do not enter, or you will be eaten. With Kristian on his tail, Ricky must make a hasty decision-to be beaten or eaten.
