This review is from: Powerpuff Girls Chapter Book #09: Frighty Night (Powerpuff Girls, Chaper Book) (Paperback)

"Frighty Night," by E.S. Mooney, is #9 in this series of Powerpuff Girls stories. The book series is based on the popular TV show "The Powerpuff Girls," created by Craig McCracken.

Just in case you don't know about the Girls, the book includes a transcription of the dialogue from the show's opening credits. The Girls are a trio of superheroes who also attend Pokey Oaks Kindergarten in the City of Townsville. In this book, the Girls investigate a supposedly haunted amusement park.

"Frighty Night" does a pretty good job of capturing the spirit of the show; most of the dialogue in the book actually reads like it could come from a television episode. The colorful illustrations look just like the visual style of the show. But overall, I thought the book couldn't fully reproduce the manic, zany energy of the series. I think that some characters are just harder to "translate" from one medium to another. Still, "Frighty Night" is good fun for Powerpuff fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's cool..., June 21, 2002

I read a lot of Powerpuff books and I really enjoyed this one. It's mysterious and reminds me a lot of a Scooby Doo episode-- you know, with the deserted park, and the monsters and all... the Mayor was even captured as well! We don't see that too often in most books... And the illustrations were great and the story was well written.
