Scream Street #12 Secret of the Changeling

So here's book 12!

The story has them travelling to the fairy realm this time. But I'm ahead of myself.

The beginning was filled with more than one shock to the heroes, from a shrieking banshee to a shape-shifting baby named Ditto (coincidentally - and please forgive me here - it is exactly the Pokemon show reference here - with an exact definition).

There's action everywhere you look and even more so in the desolate, puffy, sparkly, woodland creature laden forest of the fairy realm which I started the post off with in the first place.

Yes, I said desolate. The place is completely empty thanks to the deranged but beautiful (isn't it always like this?) Crimson Queen *no hint intended*. Characters that are almost out of the Grimm's evil stepparents's fairy tale books run the joint, from Skinderella to Snow Fright and her Seven Ninja Dwarves, and yes there is obviously Ghouldilocks with her three Scares.

It was actually more fun to see the characters being like the evil beings themselves than being rescued and reduced to damsels, Although Red Riding Blood did- oops. Retract that! ;)

She does deserve mention, the Crimson Queen, being able to wile her way into the kind heart of a certain vampire.

Anyways, if you're looking for something out of the ordinary, come and follow the gang on their adventure to this fluffy fluffy urban area where you're guaranteed a mystical time, and Bring Your Own Mirrors! :)

Scream Street #11 Hunger of the Yeti

Let's dive into the world of the strange and unknown.... more specifically, Resus's cape! Muahahaha sigh~

The three protagonists Luke, Resus and Cleo are on their way to the nice snowy mountain tops - where the air is always stifling and the view is immaculately, albeit If you can see past your face covered by snowballs - to return the tongue (yes, a tongue. And he Does try to talk, not that I have any clue what it was) of a zombie soothsayer to diminish the portal.

This is their third last and with a raving success but of course there's nothing to celebrate.

Soon they are met with more challenges that I found more than hilarious. I nearly forgot how much I love Resus. He's a totally fun character that's literally shrouded in, or rather with a cape, of mystery.

Tommy was able to plant small things in the beginning of the story that linked in very nicely throughout the book as it continued.

*spoiler alert* It was fun to see how some characters , the adults, were like in their early years. If you catch my drift.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I couldn't put it down. Thankfully I had #12 right next to me!

Scream street #10 Rampage of the goblins

Although i'm not sure these are the kinds of boobytraps and curses laid for usual pyramids, they are creative and intriguing :)
Only Donbavand could have thought up "chloroworms"  or farting goblins using their gas for propulsion. Haha. Childish as it may seem, it likely brings laughter to kids and amazement from me. His series is still going strong, what can I say?

Sometimes you don't even need a supernatural story to have a sophisticated everything. Admittedly, the series isn't for my age group but I'm not one for that stopping me. I wholly enjoyed the plot, it wasn't at all lacking, and there was definite wit between the three main characters. I had a smile on my face the whole way.
The whole series so far was always entertaining and I can't wait to check out the rest of it ( or maybe I should; after all, wouldn't want to exhaust the books - to have too much of a good thing and then have nothing :-o )
