Bad Machinery is my absolute favorite webcomic because unlike other webcomics, it honors both the daily strip format and also never lets go of the story arch, and it does so with absolute genius. There are no stand-alone strips that comment on the happenings of the world in general, and its humor is not incisive and pointed. Instead, it is a wonderful peek inside the lives of six teenagers in UK who solve mysteries (or rather bumble around them spouting delightful dialog while the monsters go about doing their business). Highly recommended. Mildred wins a magic pencil and draws herself up a very weird dog. Children are disappearing and a beast is on the loose, attracting the attention of a famous hunter. Jack is being bullied and someone burns down the cricket pavilion, and it's more hilarious and charming and slightly surreal antics from the rival mystery solving teams of Tackleford. One of my favourite webcomics has produced what are now some of my favourite books. Anyway, these cases are a West Yorkshire version of the X Files or Supernatural, with mysteries being solved by students while still attending school and doing all the other stuff teenagers do. In this one, toddlers and babies are going missing, taken by large dogs or wolves. Their disappearances correspond with a visiting carnival. There is a connection but not in the Something Wicked This Way Comes manner. Although the teens don't necessarily like having to babysit their younger siblings, they do genuinely like kids. They are as worried about their disappearances as the adults. They also have some paranormal experiences to draw on, making them more alert to possible solutions. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Everyone's favorite preteen British detectives are back for another case! With toddlers disappearing and rumors of a large, beast-like creature roaming the woods, Tackleford is in serious danger. And then there's Mildred's new dog Archibald... if you can even call it a dog. After all, what kind of dog drinks tea out of a cup? Everything comes to a head once the boys get a picture of the beast and Archibald goes missing. Is there a connection? And what does it all have to do with the magic pencil Mildred won from a carnie con game?" -- from publisher's web site. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

great dialogue.
Charlotte's glossaries are not to be missed. And I loved that the scientific name for all but one of the creatures in the Rare Animal Encyclopedia at the end of the book was Bombus Bombus. ( )
