For fans of paranormal mysteries and monster mythos, from Eisner and GLAAD nominee and coastal Lake Erie native David M. Booher (Canto, Ghostbusters) and Sarah K. Turner (Besties, T.S. Hullabaloo) comes the first volume in a new middle-grade graphic novel mystery series, where Scooby Doo meets The Last Kids on Earth, perfect for readers who love adventures in their own backyard, puzzle solving, and monsters . . . maybe . . .
​
Twelve-year-old best friends and founders of the Sperryville, Ohio Weirdologists, Jac, Maria, and Wayne believe scary things happen in their coastal town along Lake Erie, even if no one else believes them. Together, the three friends rely on their unique talents and knowledge of town history to investigate cryptids, track down ghosts, and search for monsters, all while trying to convince the townsfolk to see the strangeness all around them and believe in the unbelievable.
​
When a local kid claims to see a monster in the lake, Jac, Maria, and Wayne are the only ones to take his sighting seriously. Launching an official investigation, our trio track down clues that all point to one place . . . the old Sperryville lighthouse. Is the reclusive and mysterious Lighthouse Keeper Bones Braddock keeping a monstrous secret about this elusive “Jake in the lake”? When the investigation hits a dead end and the Weirdologists face more and more teasing from the local kids, they must make a tough choice—should they stick to their monster-hunting mission or give up and blend in?

Howliday Inn: Bunnicula: The Graphic Novels #2 is a howl of a lot of fun

The Monroes have gone on vacation, leaving Harold, Chester, and Bunnicula at Château Bow-Wow—not exactly a four-star hotel.
