Peach Creek Middle School Paranormal Research and Investigation Club Roster

Character art for a middle grade horror comic set in 90s New England I’m writing! I’ve been thinking a lot about doing a horror story for kids so this is where I’m going.

It’s about the Peach Creek Middle School Paranormal Investigation Club and their quest to uncover the secrets lying beneath their sleepy New England town. Inspired by Goosebumps, Gravity Falls, Spiderwick Chronicles, X-Files, Lovecraft/Weird Fiction/Cosmic Horror, Stephen King, and all things creepy. I’m kind of using tumblr as an online writing journal so it’s a work-in-progress. Right now I’ve got Club President Lou, VP Jean, and Treasurer Alejandro.

More to come: 2 more members of the club, their negligent faculty supervisor, freaky folks around town, and some terrifying cryptids and creatures our characters will encounter

Pls let me know what you think!!

Graphic Novel Rec: Cici's Journal

Recommended by guest reader's advisor Amie!

These middle grade graphic novels introduce you to a young writer who loves to solve mysteries. While processing everyday life, Cici uses her journal to document her discoveries and to process her emotions.

Through several short stories, you may laugh, you may cry but you'll love reading all that Cici discovers about the world around her and those close to her.

Feel free to pick up this book if you are in the mood for a heartwarming, feel good read that's perfect for pre-teens, teenagers and adults alike! I loved Cici's Journal so much that I immediately read the second book, Cici's Journal: Lost and Found.

Check out Cici's Journal

Misfit Mansion

By Kay Davault

Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends meets Hilda and the Troll in this spooky and sweet middle grade graphic novel about a monster girl who sneaks out of her foster home and into a human town in search of a forever family but finds more than she bargained for. Despite her monstrous appearance, Iris has never felt like she belongs in a mansion filled with kelpies and gorgons and unicorns. She longs to find a family. Unfortunately, she and her housemates are trapped in a “foster home for horrors” run by former paranormal investigator Mr. Halloway. So, when a human boy named Mathias breaks the house’s sealing spell, Iris and her companions are set free upon the town of Dead End Springs. What Iris doesn’t know is that Mathias is also a paranormal hunter (the kind who seeks to capture and destroy the horrors), or that there are other dangers ahead. As Iris searches for a home, she makes human friends, explores a brand-new world…and stumbles upon a dark secret that Halloway has kept locked in the basement of the house. Will this long-slumbering mystery destroy the family Iris so desperately seeks?

---

A very homey read, about kids in less than ideal situations with their guardians, but when confronted one chooses to change while the other doubles down (luckily, that kid finds a better home away from that toxic guardian).
