Reviews
“This graphic novel edition of the first story in the much-loved series is terrific. Pete Williamson, the original illustrator, has brilliantly depicted these characters once more, in a muted palette that is vibrantly lit, and drenched in atmosphere. There are many illustrative details to pore over, and it is packed with action. There are emotional moments too, and the story subtly asks the reader to consider who the real monsters are – the humans or the creatures. The font is in upper and lower case, making it easier to read than all capitals, which will appeal to all readers, and the story is divided into four parts. Darkly funny, accessible and thought-provoking.” BookTrust
