My favorite thing about these is that Lottieā€™s bangs grow out and get cut again. Shows me the passage of time in such a subtle way (and bang trim/grow out is very real).

Another very fun volume. It's great to see that Allison can mash up the formula (e.g., we really only work with 1/2 of the team, and the story starts at the end of a case) and keep the same level of amusing middle school snark and supernatural shenanigans.

The best one yet. I loved it! Allison captures something with the dialogue of these characters that I find so entertaining, so believable, that I read the volumes in one sitting every time and feel like I've rushed through my birthday cake instead of savoring every bite of it. If you like cleverness and stories about young people read this one.

This one felt a little less than to me, but I was also in a slightly distracted mood when I read it, so take that for what it's worth. I still think the series and characters are enormously fun and look forward to the next one.
