    About this ebook

    Charles just moved to Echo City, and some of his new neighbors give him the creeps. They sneak into his room, steal his toys, and occasionally, they try to eat him.

    The place is teeming with monsters!

    Lucky for Charles, Echo City has Margo Maloo, monster mediator. No matter who’s causing trouble, Margo knows exactly what to do—the neighborhood kids say monsters are afraid of her. It's a good thing, because Echo City's trolls, ogres, and ghosts all have one thing in common: they don't like Charles very much.

      This book has a nice energy, but the kids vs. monsters theme is not particularly original, even with a small twist about the title character's viewpoint of that struggle. Margo Maloo is too much of a cipher/jerk to draw me in, and Charles, the Watson to her Holmes, doesn't do much for me either. The art is well-suited to the supernatural elements.
    • 5/5
      This is a great story and I hope a sequel is in the works. A boy moves, reluctantly, to Echo City and finds a monster in his closet. A neighbour kid gives him the number of a girl who works monster cases. That's Margo Maloo and the kids say monsters are afraid of her,some even say she's part monster herself. These two characters are adorable and I loved the banter between them as they eventually become friends and partners. The two spend the book going on several cases of monster disturbance meeting up with a troll and a ghost. Then they help an ogress find her missing baby. Great dialogue and fun monster characters.

      The Creepy Case Files of Margo Malooby Drew Weing2016FirstSecond Books4.5/5.0I really liked the graphics, and how this was formatted. A great story about a young boy, Charles Thompson, who moves with his family into an abandoned apartment building. Charlie begins to see a monster in his room, calling Margo Maloo to help. She introduces him to all the monster in the neighborhood.The cutest wombat ever!!#teamslaughter #scarathon @Clwojick
    • 4/5
      The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo is a very entertaining comic or graphic novel for middle grade kids. This book is tells the story of Charles Thompson and his move to Echo City. He is a reporter on the web and seems to be worried about everything, mugging, murder and monsters. When a monster comes out of his closet the first night in his new home, he tells the neighbour kid. He gives him a card and he calls Margo Maloo. She is sort of like a ghost buster for monsters. She is billed as a Monster Mediator and seems to know all the trolls, goblins, ghosts and vampires in the city. She is able to mediate between Charles and Marcus, the troll living in the abandoned kitchen of the old hotel he lives in. Charles convinces Margo that he can help her and wants to go on her missions with her. The next few chapters involve Margo and Charles dealing with a variety of monsters and situations.

      The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo is clever, witty and a wonderful adventure altogether with great characters and plot. Both Charles and Margo are interesting characters with recognizable personalities. This comic fits both girls and boys with the main characters being one of each. As an adult, I also enjoyed reading it with my grandson. The story flows nicely and the panels are put together in a way that the story is easy to follow and the graphics are recognizable. The art is well done in a dark shadowy way that fits well with the story. The family images are bright and fun which mixes well and makes the story more believable. The back of the book has pages showing each of the monsters in the story. It tells a little about them and shows their physical makeup. A nice addition. This is a great book for school and public libraries, especially for those reluctant readers whether male or female.

      I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

      reviewed from egalley.

      children's graphic novel (everyday diversity, inner city kids dealing with monsters)-recommended for 4th-6th grades.
      clever and original stories featuring colorful artwork, a diverse cast, and various types of monsters will keep kids entertained for an hour or so. There is some additional backmatter for those who are interested in learning more details about ghosts, goblins, etc.
