Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp by Marieke Nijkamp
3.0
Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
For me personally, a lot of graphic novels don't have enough plot or character development for a good story. This one unfortunately fell into that category.
I felt like we were thrown into a story already halfway through and not too much was well explained along the way. The characters kind of fell flat and I didn't have time to get attached to any of them.
I did like the artwork and think it was a really great style to go along with the story. I've never actually read a Goosebumps book because I was terrified of anything even the slightest bit scary when I was young, but I have watched the show and it did almost read like an episode of the show. The show kind of gave off more of a scare factor though.
While I didn't really feel to attached to any of the characters, I did like the wolf pack's loyalty to each other. The most important thing to them was to stay together and stay safe.
Overall, a cute spooky graphic novel, but I wish it had a little bit more.
