Gr 46 Picking up after the events of the first book, this next series entry finds sisters Enid Jupiter and Lyra Gotham exploring their father's basement art studio in Victoria, British Columbia. After stumbling upon a strange brick with mysterious coordinates, the girls head out on a wild scavenger hunt to locate more clues in hopes of solving the city's current monster problem. Narrated by host Perogy Cat (a locally popular character created by Gaudin for the comic strip Magic Teeth Dailies ), this quirky graphic novel about two kids going up against a host of creepy creatures incorporates science facts and information about places in Victoria, resulting in a thoughtful, educational adventure. Gaudin's vibrant monsters pop against a fairly subdued palette. Though rife with amusing meta-humor, the narrative relies heavily on exposition and suffers from slow pacing at times. Familiarity with the series starter is essential for those wishing to get the most out of their reading experience. Both protagonists are white. VERDICT Purchase only for fans eager for the next "Monster Sisters" installment.
