Gr 3–6— A clever read from start to finish. Gwen (a witch), Sloane (a werewolf), and Miles (a vampire) are back for a wickedly good adventure in this new addition to the "Hellaween" graphic novel series. The story begins with flashbacks of Halloween's past. Gwen's powers start manifesting, and her interest in going to the Hallowlands grows. Miles and Sloane cross over to visit her and see how her powers are growing. Fast-forward to the present: Gwen decides to take getting into the Hallowlands into her own hands. This is when the true adventure begins. With the help of her new and old friends, Gwen's story is one of both maturing and tweenaged angst. The graphic novel attributes allow for an easy-to-follow experience. Clever illustrations with a neon green, hot pink, and black palette reiterate the Goth aesthetic. Illustrations elevate the story further and only add to the pleasure of reading this. VERDICT Fans of "Monster High" and the show Wednesday will love this addition to the "Hellaween" series.— Katie Loomis
Perfect for fans of Wednesday and Monster High, the second book of this wickedly funny graphic novel series follows an aspiring witch and her two best friends as they try to have the most epic Halloween ever…while also dealing with pesky do-gooders, escaped monsters, and one harsh curfew.
Halloween is hella fun when you’re a monster! Or at least it used to be, before those junior Helsings got in the way of Gwen and her friends. Now, on top of that, the whole town is in lockdown, with a curfew and everything.
Gwen thinks it’s time to ditch suburbia and finally head to the Hallowlands. But Miles and Sloane are determined to save their “normie” holiday. The vampire and werewolf scramble to fulfill their sacred need to party. The plan: throw the most epic bash this town has ever seen . . . and then scare everyone who shows up!
But Gwen has plans of her own. Fed up with being told no, she decides to use her magic to break into the Hallowlands once and for all. And she quickly discovers it’s as strange as she always dreamed, but also as dangerous as her friends have warned. Luckily, she soon meets a fellow witch who can be her guide through the bizarre land and also help level up her powers. But could it all be too good to be true? The fate of these three best friends’ Halloween night hangs in the balance—but will it end in trick or treat?
