Night of the Living Shadows: A Speed Bump & Slingshot Misadventure

122 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | October, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-8887-8 $13.99
(3) 1-3 In their second outing, bird friends Speed Bump and Slingshot get into absurd shenanigans on a Bird Scouts scavenger hunt inside a curious place called "the mall," where they become trapped overnight. This graphic novel/chapter book hybrid explores themes of bravery, friendship, and accomplishing goals. The story's silly vibe is supported by slapstick black-and-white illustrations, which reward careful observation.
