Charles is fairly new to
Echo City, but what he has learned of the place is that there are monsters hiding
throughout the city and not many people know they are there. Charles had to get help from Margo Maloo for
a problem he was having in his own home and ever since he has decided that he
wants to alert all the kids in Echo City of the monsters in their midst. Margo agrees to let him shadow her as she
mediates between the humans and the monsters, so that Charles can get
information to share with others so that everyone can get along. Charles and Margo concentrate on the abandoned
mall that has a lair of vampires.
What a
fun read! Margo is a capable character who is cloaked in mystery and Charles is
a cute nerd who is being introduced to this new way of looking at the
world. The illustrations are fantastic
and this is a read that will be enjoyed by graphic novel lovers.
