Goodreads

“Up to No Ghoul” is a middle-grade graphic novel written by Cullen Bunn and illustrated by Cat Farris. It is the sequel to “The Ghoul Next Door.” You definitely need to have read the first book to fully understand this book, so I would only recommend purchasing it if you already have the first book or are willing to purchase the first as well.

Grey is a middle schooler who lives in Ander’s Landing, a place where the supernatural live and weird things happen regularly!  He is also friends with Lavinia, a ghoul who lives in the cemetery nearby. When a blood drive bus arrives in town, people who give blood seem to become mindless zombies. Grey and his friends suspect vampires and try to stop them.

The art style looks like watercolor and adds a creepiness to the story. A fun adventure about friendship, and not making assumptions, this book is a recommended purchase where graphic novels are popular. Written for kids 8 to 12 years old.
