4-6Scooby-Doo! Comic Chapter Books series.
Illustrated by
Scott Neely.
Scooby-Doo and the gang investigate a theater-haunting ghost and an animal spirit disrupting an archaeological dig in a hybrid series that mixes prose with comic-book art. All the elements of a Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. story are present: fast-paced action, slapstick comedy, and supernatural hoaxes; however, the text-heavy hybrid format feels unbalanced, resulting in a disjointed reading experience. Includes extension questions and jokes. Glos. Review covers the following Scooby-Doo! Comic Chapter Books titles: Curse of the Stage Fright and Legend of the Gator Man.
