Booklist - 03/15/2021 In a town called Nowhere, scary creatures are all part of the local folklore residents tell to folks passing through. None of it could possibly be true . . . or could it? Willow and her family just moved to Nowhere, and she's not thrilled. She's also not thrilled about having to spend the week at Camp Whatever, especially after she hears about a camper who went missing years ago. Willow, who is Deaf, quickly makes friends with other new kids at the camp (and bristles at the camp director, who is ableist about her Deafness), but when she starts seeing odd things at all hours, she realizes all the strange stories she's heard just might be true! Grine's bright, colorful artwork contains just the right amount of spookiness, with easy-to-read lettering well positioned within each panel. He playfully and gently incorporates some common horror movie tropes, and the story features a refreshingly inclusive group of campers and staff. A cute and creepy comic ideal for middle-graders hungry for breezy scares. - Copyright 2021 Booklist.
