Gr 24 Local rumors of Ol' Luna, a rare lunar sea serpent, start to swirl in Sueño Bay. These tales prove true one summer day when Jenna stumbles upon the sea monster's egg cache at the bottom of Otter Lagoon. Though she and her little brother Sleeves and her friends/supernatural enthusiasts Ollie and Kay often get involved in adventures together, she decides not to show the eggs to them. In an attempt to raise funds for a rescue dog's operation, Jenna makes questionable choices involving the eggs that could result in devastating consequences for all of Sueño Bay. This second book in the series provides a slow-building, character-focused supernatural adventure that explores personal responsibility and guilt. Gloriously rendered in earth-tone watercolors and hand-drawn inked lines, the engaging illustrations will pull in readers with cartoonish character design on realistic natural backgrounds. Jenna and Sleeves are brown-skinned, Ollie is tan-skinned, and Kay appears to be white. VERDICT Fans of the first installment will especially enjoy this continuation. Recommended purchase.

A tiny island is experiencing extreme weather, a rash of shipwrecks and the disappearance of whole swaths of marine life. Is it climate change? A bad storm season? Or is something else going on?

The second graphic novel in the Sueño Bay Adventures returns to the Pacific Northwest, where plucky and independent Jenna finds herself in some trouble after a dog in her care is injured. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Jenna aligns herself with exotic animal dealers looking to make a quick buck off the local floral and fauna. When Jenna finds a rare egg, she unknowingly sets off a sequence of events that could mean the end of the peaceful village of Sueño Bay.

In spite of her attempts to keep them out of her business, Jenna cant keep her friends from poking around when the supernatural is involved. And soon enough this crew of young sleuths are in a race against time with the greatest Moon Creature of all, Lunar Serpentis.
