With humorous creeps, a diverse cast of characters, and fabulous cityscapes, this second graphic novel deepens the human/monster relationships in Echo City and explores urban renewal and human habitat incursions. Margo Maloo, monster mediator, again asks aspiring journalist Charles to assist in her monster awareness work, and together they help mall-dwelling teen vampires. Unresolved issues provide fodder for future installments.

Charles, a young aspiring journalist, does not want to move to Echo City or live in the dilapidated former hotel his father is renovating, especially when he discovers that the city teems with monsters. Fortunately, he meets a monster mediator, Margo Maloo. This strong graphic novel has humorous creeps, a clever plot, engaging dialogue, appealing and diverse characters, and fabulous city scenery.

Wanda is a superstar--in her own mind. After posting a selfie taken with her droll, droopy-faced dog Wilbur, she scores millions of online likes. Hordes of admirers fill her street, and Wanda receives her fandom only to be snubbed by the crowd. They want "FLOPPY DOG!" Davis and Weing share author-illustrator duties for this expertly paced--and funny and topical--early-reader comic.
