The creepy and perilous moments-including kidnappings, a masked night creature, a mysterious evil villain, and a ghostly old mansion-are infused with just enough humor to take the scare factor down a bunch of notches. The winning combination of mystery, spook, sass, and humor will have readers willingly turning the pages to the end. Ailis’s parents are out of town and, while staying with her Grandma, who is as tough as old rusty nails, she discovers a newspaper clipping hidden in the attic that marks the beginning of a mystery about to unravel. Ailis Maeve Thornton is a weirn-a witch born with a protective, loyal guardian spirit, known as an Astral, that is bound to her for life. By night, the town is populated with vampires, shapeshifters, mermaids, weirns, and forgotten magic. During the day, humans walk the streets in what seems like normalcy. Off the misty coast of New England where mermaids throw trash back at the tourists, lies a small sleepy town named Laitham. Written in a voice perfect for the tween-set, Be Wary of the Silent Woods is the first to come of a series of entertaining, spooky graphic novels by Svetlana Chmakova.
