A creepy, monster-filled graphic novel, perfect for readers of Summer Vamp and Hellaween!

When Charlotte Bissett discovers a creepy cool book in her school library called Liber de Monstrum, she can’t help but take it home to investigate. Horror has always brought her comfort—as long as it’s safely within the pages of a book.

That night she reads a few pages out loud before going to sleep. And the next day, some really weird things are going on in the small town of Devilfish Bay. There's snow outside for the first time in years, Charlotte's favorite teacher is missing, and the new substitute teacher, Miss Fell, is a little strange. She just might be a werewolf!

Charlotte's worried she made a big mistake reading from the creepy book. She knows it's up to her to make things right—but to do so, she'll have to recruit her friends Molly and Griffin to help. But will they even believe her? And if they do, can this new crew of kid monster hunters actually defeat a real werewolf?
