I received a copy of this for free from the publisher in exchange for a review on NetGalley. I found the story predictable, but it is a children's book, so I think that's okay. Predictability could be useful to prevent truly scaring children too. Batman wasn't used to his full potential. This is a Scooby-Doo mystery that Batman fell into and you won't be seeing any grappling hook usage or detective work. He does some punches and kicks and that's about it. I do enjoy that a glossary of vocabulary words and little writing prompts were included at the end though!

A short and sweet story that is perfect for young readers! I thought the fast pace was engaging and that the mystery had enough intrigue to keep interest. It was very fun to see the Scooby gang team up with Batman as well, as their personalities are definitely different.

Batman and The Mystery Gang come together outside Gotham City in The Case of the Cursed Crop. Fred's friend invites The Mystery Gang out to his farm to investigate strange happenings there. But he is gone when they arrive and every time a strange fog appears so do monstrous creatures. Batman pops by and he teams up with Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby-Doo to get to the bottom of this case. The quick-reading chapter book provides the usual action and shenanigans that the few illustrations reinforce. A nice entry into the series that Capstone is publishing!

Thanks Netgalley for the opportunity to read this title!

The Case of the Cursed Crop is a children’s book featuring Scooby and the gang, along with Batman. This is a fun mystery, nothing too scary for children. I liked that there was a description of all the characters in case newer readers are unfamiliar with them. I also liked that there were discussion questions at the end of the story. Also, another thing I appreciated was that there was a vocabulary list at the end with pronunciations and definitions of the tougher words. I always enjoyed reading these types of books with my kids when they were young. I highly recommend. Thank you to Netgalley and Stone Arch Books for the ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

I loved this ! Scooby is my spirit animal and I’ve loved him and the gang from I was a child ! So this was very nostalgic.

I was sold by the Scooby Doo theme and it definitely was worth the read. A pretty chill, fun read, not anything spectacular. The ending was a bit off but I honestly enjoyed this lil throwback of a book!!

This is not a comic book, but an actual children's book with illustrations. It was so much fun! Scooby-Doo has always been my favorite cartoon and while it has been quite a few years since I've watched it on TV, this played like an episode in my head while I was reading and it made me laugh more than once.

I am not very familiar with a lot of DC characters and the ending was a little confusing since I didn't know who the villain was. I gained more information with the bio at the end though and it wrapped it up nicely.

I loved the glossary and story discussion questions at the end. This is a great read for grade school children or anyone who is a Scooby-Doo lover like me.

Join the Mystery Gang as they team up with the greatest detective, Batman in a new and fun mystery. When Mystery inc arrive in a farm outside of Gotham City mysterious things start happening and fearsome monsters are appearing everywhere. Thankfully with the (accidental) arrival of Batman the crew can come together and get down to the bottom of this mystery! A fun read for kids or anyone who is a fan of Scooby Doo and the mystery crew or Batman!

*Thanks Netgalley and Stone Arch Books for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

Growing up I loved watching Scooby-Doo. When I saw this on Netgalley as a “read now”, I figured why not! I am always down for something that is Scooby-Doo.

This was a fun read and I loved the illustrations that were included. This reads as a children’s book, so just a bit lower than middle grade. I also know it’s one that my daughter would enjoy since it’s easy to get through much like the Magic Tree House series. The chapters are short and easily grasp your attention, even as an adult.

It was easy to read the words in my head as the characters would say them which made it that much more enjoyable. I also liked the inclusion of batman which reminded me of the older shows with him and Robin in them!

Overall, this was a fun mystery and I will definitely be checking out the other ones in this series with my daughter!

Scooby Doo has always been my favorite show, so when I saw this book I knew I had to read it.
It was just like an actual episode of the show and played like tv in my head.
Batman was a fun addition to the story, I know there are a few episodes/movies that do include Batman.
The story was super creepy, but had so much humor and fun that it really wasn’t scary.
I really appreciated that one of the characters (I won’t say who!) was a Batman character who I was unfamiliar with, and there was actually a biography for him at the end for people who aren’t as familiar with Batman.
Definitely a super fun short read for kids I adults!

One of what looks like four cross-franchise adventures we'll get in the summer of 2021, this shows that Batman and Scooby-Doo (and the rest) can work together, and work surprisingly well. When the gang get told of a haunted farm they have to investigate and do their usual meddling kids thing. Lo and behold, they find Batman on the farm and on their side, too, for the case is just too bizarre... Well, it might be for an under-ten, as I guessed who was behind it all very easily. But what's more important to me is the book's suitability for the target audience, which is fine, and how it manages to embody the spirit of the cartoons of my childhood. This it does superbly – I know Scooby could talk more or less eloquently depending on era, and here he's probably more successfully vocal than he was when I was in his audience, but it's all here, from the cheesy get-out-of-jail-free cards our heroes have to play once an episode, to the typical yack about frights and snacking that Shaggy and Scooby have to force down our throats, to the deliciously-inappropriate-for-running-around-in skirt the lovely Velma insisted on. A strong four stars, if not more – and no, at no time did I miss the horrid canned laughter track.
