Set in London, England, two monster mysteries in graphic-novel format.Kyle, who blogs his passion for ghosts and monsters, is actively on the lookout for a mystery to solve. In "Wild Werewolves," the first of the two stories, a stranger named Lon Chaney approaches Kyle and his friend Zoey at the library. He believes that a few nights ago he turned into a werewolf, and he asks them to find a solution. Kyle and Zoe team up with Ashley and Tyler, two more friends, to work out why werewolves have suddenly appeared in the city. In "Mummy Mischief," the four friends read an online news article about a mummy on the subway (the text has been Americanized) and go to the British Museum's mummy exhibit to get more clues. Both stories are reminiscent of Scooby-Doo, and Robert's bright illustrations offer a lot of potential. However, the stories lack conviction, and although the book tries (very hard!) to be funny, the wordplay is clunky and the jokes often fall flat. (For instance, the answer to the question "Why would a mummy travel on the subway?" is "Because taxis don't give rides to mummies!") Most importantly, perhaps, the allegedly teenage characters read like 8-year-olds. Zoey is the only character of color, but her identity does not come into play at all during the course of the stories.Ultimately, this European import is clumsy and uninteresting. (Graphic mystery. 7-10)

Two graphic novel mysteries in one book, each filled with fun humor and intrigue. Are there really werewolves in London? Mummies in the metro? Fear not—Mystery Club is on the case!

In Wild Werewolves, a stranger approaches Zoey and Kyle in the library as they ask the question: "Do you think monsters exist in London?" The stranger gives them information that sets them on a city-wide adventure with Ashley and Tyler. The Mystery Club pieces together the werewolf mystery and the identity of the stranger and a zany series of events ensues. 

In Mummy Mischief, train passengers spot a mummy in the subway. Then it happens again! The occurrences are uncanny and strange enough to lure the Mystery Club to action. As they unwrap the mysteries of the mummy appearances, they unearth even more hijinks than they bargained for.
