It’s the day of the Mystery
Fair and Dipper, Mabel, and Stan all have goals. Dipper is trying to win Wendy over. Mabel
want to win the pig of her dreams, Waddles. Stan just wants to make a lot of
money. All seems to be going to plan until Dipper inevitably screws up with
Wendy and she ends up with Robbie. All due to a time traveler who screws up the
whole thing. After tricking the time traveler into giving them his belt, Dipper
and Mabel start trying to fix time so that Mabel gets the pig and Dipper gets
the girl. Dipper, however, is terrible at winning over girls and the screws up
the time-space continuum. Will Dipper and Mabel be able to fix time and get
what they’ve always dreamed of? When a cop car gets wrecked and shureep get
taken, footprints of some creature was found. A monster is definitely in town,
can Mabel and Dipper stop it before it’s too late?
True to the tv series, this
fun basic horror novel is fairly well-written, humorous, and engaging. The
character, Dipper is a little annoying, but Mabel is a lovable character most
kids will relate to. This basic chapter book is an ideal fit for young readers
new to chapter books who are interested in science fiction and horror. EL. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Jessica M, Library Media Specialist, Olympus Jr. High.
