Maudlin Towers series.
When the founder's School Spoon disappears from boarding school Maudlin Towers, the headmaster threatens to cancel Christmas break unless it's recovered. Friends Mildew and Sponge investigate, discovering a secret time machine, a rumored ghost, and a werewolf along the way. While the time-travel aspect becomes convoluted, the mock-Gothic elements and dry wit should attract fans of darkly comic tales. Pen-and-ink illustrations add Edward Gorey–esque visual humor.
