I absolutely love reading about these sisters and their adventures. A great addition to the graphic novel format, this book helped my struggling reader bridge their reading from early readers to novels.

'The Monster Sisters and the Mystery of the Stone Octopus' with story and art by Gareth Gaudin is the second graphic novel in this series, but I was able to follow along well enough.

Enid Jupiter and Lyra Gotham are monster hunters on the move in Victoria, B.C. They traverse the city using vines, or by skateboard or by holding their breath for a very long time, evading monsters and chasing after clues. They are trying to solve the mystery of a stone octopus and the cryptic directions on a series of stones they find.

The story is a bit out there, but lots of fun. The art has crazy proportions and lots of monsters. It's also fun to see a city I've been to taken over by monsters.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Orca Book Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

A story that is truly packed with creativity and engaging characters/obstacles! I would gladly share this book with young graphic novel enthusiasts and enjoyed it much myself.
