This review is from: Scary Godmother: The Mystery Date (Hardcover)

The Scary Godmother is one of the most unique characters to burst upon the scene in a long time. Ms. Thompson's second offering "The Mystery Date" is a grand adventure. She has a wonderful knack of developing "scary" characters and making you love them! Our darling Hannah builds on her relationships with Skully Pettibone, Bug-A-Boo and the rest of her friends, and adds more acquaintences to her circle.

What a treat to see another side of Scary Godmother, a side we can all relate to. Is it possible? Has she become even more endearing to the reader?

Just read "Mystery Date!" It is great for adults and kids alike.

Keep 'em coming, Jill.

This review is from: Scary Godmother: The Mystery Date (Hardcover)

Rarely has my daughter enjoyed a book as much as this one. It is even rarer yet for me to take the time to get online and plug it for others to buy! All of the Scary Godmother titles are great Halloween fun. The painted art simply has to be seen to be believed. A must buy for October 31st.
