Description

In the third volume of this beloved graphic novel series, Drew Weing delivers a fresh and funny take on the age-old battle between kids and closet-dwelling monsters. As the assistant to Margo Maloo, Charles has gone on assignment in some pretty interesting locations. He's been to a vampire's lair, an ogre's den, and even a monster grocery store! But he's never been to the Downside, Echo City's underground monster metropolis that is super mysterious and DEFINITELY off-limits to kids. But a settlement of giant spiders is about to be dynamited by unwitting construction workers-and, coincidentally, one of those giant spiders "accidentally" bites Charles. His cure and the spiders' salvation lie in the Downside-if Charles and Margo can make it in time.

Reviews

Praise for The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo:

"Clever dialogue enhances this intriguing and multilayered story set in a fully realized world of monster and human coexistence." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Drew Weing's Creepy Casefiles, with its quirky kids, sympathetic beasties, and hand-rendered coloring, reads like a classic children's title from decades past...if not for the astute, subtle observations on cultural dynamics within cities and the ripple effects of gentrification." --Paste Magazine
