This was a fun, face paced children’s/middle grade book. I think these kids & Creeples would make good characters for a series. This book combines science, humor and a story where kids get to be the heroes. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy.

Sadly, this wasn’t a middle grade that I could really enjoy as an adult. The characters were okay but I never grew attached to them. The premise is interesting but it went a bit over the top with Creeples. I could see maybe 7-9 year olds loving this though.

Creeples! just might be the weirdest book I have ever read. A science experiment gone wrong results in the creation of little beings with magic. The kids who were in the lab name them Creeples. Following the appearance of these creatures, there are dragons, evil rings of power, inanimate objects that come to life, demons and so much more that I could not keep up. On top of the overdone adventure, the spew of slang/odd verbiage that the main characters use to speak with each other was ridiculous.

Creeples is written for middle grades and younger. The silly slapstick violence and unbelievable way the story progressed was not for anyone older.

I enjoyed the story of this book, but I felt like it was a bit redundant compared to other school fantasy books that are on the market. I thought the writing was good, the characters were lovable, but it wasn't a new concept.

A fun book, the story moved quickly, and an intriguing plot. You can tell the author is in the film and theater industry by the way they use description. I found that it could have used a little more character development to give each of the six Creeples a bit more of an individual identity. Overall, it was a very good read and something I would have picked up when I was a kid.

Fun weirdness! Middle graders will love this one. Students of the Aberdasher Academy of Science unleash the CREEPLES-little, weird critters that use magic to cause chaos. Sort of a mix of Harry Potter meets Stranger Things meets Goosebumps. It was a bit over the top for me but I am many decades older than the target audience! Kids will LOVE this book with the science/magic mashups as the characters overcome their differences to work together to foil an evil plot. I was given a copy to review.

I'd like to thank the publisher for providing me with an ARC.

I felt like I didn't enjoy this book as much because I'm not part of the target audience. I do think that young readers will enjoy this book more than I did. Unfortunately, I felt that the writing and characters were just okay. Again, I think the silliness of the book and easy to get into nature of the story will appeal to young readers.

Thank you Greenleaf Book Group Press and NetGalley for the electronic review copy of this great book. It’s an interesting mix of unusual science, tech, fantastical creatures, boarding school, smart kids, and lots of action. It was a fun middle-grade read that I would be sharing with my students.

What a fascinating read! Completely imaginative yet believable. The Creeples are funny little creatures and their creators are a great representation of friendship and found family. Equally comedy and danger and sweetness.

My kids (ages 7 and 9) really enjoyed this. It was just the right level of creepy with being TOO scary so I was afraid it would give them nightmares.

Creepy fun Children's book. This needs to be in every library. So good. Loved it. Beautiful art too.

Creoles is a book that will appeal to many middle grade students who enjoy humor with their suspense. It was a bit more slapstick than weird science for me. However, this will be an easy sell in my middle school library.

Thanks to NetGalley, Publishers Weekly Grab-a-Galley, and the publisher for the chance to read this arc in exchange for an honest review.

I received this galley as a free offer in one of the online tradeshows. It seems that, like many other books lately, it is trying to capture readers who have enjoyed Harry Potter or Percy Jackson by creating a school that serves children with gifts of some sort. The bullies on campus have a faculty member who enables them, just as the Slytherins did with Professor Snape. I did not find any of the chacters very sympathetic. Each of them has some sort of personality quirk(s) that makes it difficult for them to fit in at a regular school. While I understand that this is also one of the reasons they are attending Aberdasher Academy of Science, it makes them hard to care about because they can be so odd or obnoxious. And the bullies on campus have a faculty member who enables them, just as the Slytherins did with Professor Snape.

This would probably appeal to students who woudl like a mash-up of Harry Potter and Goosebumps (demonic supremacy plot).

I received an advanced copy of this ebook from the publisher for an honest review. This book is well written and the characters are described well. I absolutely enjoyed everyone in this story. The world building is fantastic in this book. It keeps your attention from the first page. It is set in a school. I absolutely enjoyed this authors writing style. I would recommend reading this book to anyone and everyone. This book is in stores for $16.95 (USD).

Creeples is a fun and kooky middlegrade scifi novel. Protagonists Spigs, T-Ray, and Peabo are new students at a prestigious science school. In an attempt to help their favorite teacher, they inadvertently create a new species, which they dub "creeples". Chaos ensues. The friends then have to work alongside their new creations to stop a sinister plot that's brewing on campus. There were one too many fart jokes in the novel for my taste, but I can see kids enjoying the humor. The blossoming friendship between the characters was a definite plus. Overall, I found Creeples to be a fun scifi adventure.

What are creeples? Spigs has gotten kicked out of many schools due to his mischief. He will now be going to the Aberdasher Academy of Science in New York. He will be studying “weird science.” A geneticist professor chooses Spigs , and also chooses his roomie Peabo and T-Ray (a girl) as her research assistant. When. the academy shuts down the professor’s department, the trio decides to prep an experiment to validate their prof’s research. This involves a 3-D bio-printer and a mysterious serum. Before they know it, the teens have six 20-inch creatures with a penchant for wreaking havoc — they are creeples! The trio discovers that they are “bad.” Meanwhile, there are others who want the creeples. The creeples have the ability to “zap” inanimate objects to life plus more.

The author has written a book that is a mystery and humorous at the same time. There is laughter even when the characters (the trio) are cynical and put in danger. The story is full of action. There is a supernatural component to the story. There is a hint at the end of the book suggesting a sequel will become available.

Creeples is a title that should be popular with middle graders. I love the cover and the connection to science is really appealing to me as a parent/scientist.

this was a creepy and well done children's book, the art was great and I really enjoyed the story itself. I hope there is more from the author.
