Gr 3-6 In the fourth original "Goosebumps" graphic novel from IDW, Blake, a 12-year-old year girl with a prosthetic arm and incredible video game skills, visits her aunt one summer and meets Lily. Lily takes Blake monster hunting in nearby Fever Swamp, but when the two find werewolves, Blake quickly realizes that the real monsters are Lily's monster-hunting family. Blake and Lily learn to set aside their prejudices and fears to save the werewolf pack. The vast majority of characters in this story are female. Aside from one supporting werewolf character, Lily and her family are the only white characters, making the persecution of the werewolves a fairly clear racial metaphor. The art is lush and colorful, relying on blue and greens to manage the trick of effectively depicting nighttime scenes. VERDICT A dynamic and thoughtful action story with a laudable but never preachy message about looking beyond prejudices and standing up to injustice. Fans of IDW's "Goosebumps" graphic novels or of Scholastic's older graphic novel adaptations of the series will enjoy this new offering.Tammy Ivins, Univ. of North Carolina at Wilmington

Reader beware, you're in for a scare! The kid-friendly horror series returns with a spooky new graphic novel from New York Times bestselling YA author Marieke Nijkamp!

When twelve-year-old Blake is shipped away to stay with her weird aunt in Fever Swamp for the summer, she expects her weeks to be filled with video games, mosquito bites, and a whole lot of nothing. Instead, she finds herself in a spooky turf war between wolf hunters and werewolves!

Blake's never let anything--including her prosthetic hand--slow her down or stop her from crushing her opponents in a game of Lore Hunter, but real-life monsters on all sides take danger and fear to a whole new level. Blake will need to use all of her gaming skills to escape in this all-ages scarefest from New York Times bestselling author Marieke Nijkamp (This Is Where It Ends, Before I Let Go) and artist Yasmin Flores (Marvel Action: Captain Marvel, Tilly).
