We liked the humor and the wide spectrum of Dr. Moreau-type marine monsters. An off-season seaside town is the naturally creepy setting for a spooky mystery. Nice friendship details keep things from getting overly Scooby-Doo-esque.

Great Book! Kid vs. Squid is a book about how the story of Atlantis and its unfortunate endings may have been because of an evil witch, Skalla. The problem is, Skalla may not stop there, drowning the entire california could just be her plans. An amazing book with tons of exciting adventures and discoveries, there is always something new for Thatcher, and his friends Shoal and Trudy.

Wacky summer adventure with lots of ocean-themed mayhem. It's fast-paced and has moments of good humor, but it was also a little hard to follow, and perhaps the most unforgivable, false advertising: no squid until page 169.
I read it aloud to my kids and they enjoyed it, though were also disappointed at the lack of squid.

A children's book that I read based on friends' recommendations. Very imaginative and funny, so I kept reading, but really too YA for my tastes.[return]BTW, did great books like this exist when I was a kid? I didn't have them, but I was in a library-deprived place.
