SPOOKY ADVENTURES AHOY! While on a cruise trip with their father, two siblings, Otto and Nan, learn of a furry menace wreaking havoc for passengers: a real-life werewolf! The resulting “weredunit” adventure has them questioning family, fellow travelers, and even themselves as they battle the ocean’s waves and the full moon. Canine capers are nothing to bark at…especially for two growing kids!
See both perspectives in this flip graphic novel, written by real-life siblings Chas! Pangburn and Kim Shearer. TWO stories, TWO unique perspectives, and TWO different art styles–all in ONE book! However, in order to get the full tail/tale, readers have to read BOTH sides of the story. Humor, action, the supernatural, emotional beats, and educational components—it’s an adventure for all!
“I’m beyond excited for readers to join siblings Otto and Nan as they chase Princess Tiaa–the adorable “Mummy Cat”–throughout Egypt. Co-writing and collaborating with my older sister, Kim Pangburn Shearer, is a bonding experience I’ll forever cherish, and we’re fortunate to have our words brought to life by the ever-talented Nic Touris. With TWO stories told through TWO unique perspectives with TWO differing art styles in ONE book, we’re offering a little bit of everything for middle-grade readers. Humor, action, the supernatural, emotional beats, and educational components–it’s an adventure for all!” said Chas! Pangburn.
Kim Shearer said, “When I was an elementary school librarian, I noticed two groups of graphic novel fans: the students who loved fantasy comics (like Dog Man, Lunch Lady, Plants versus Zombies, etc.) and the students who loved more reality-based comics (Smile, Babysitter’s Club, etc.). When we would discuss potential future reads, these two groups were pretty reluctant to stray outside of their preferred category of comic. I started to think about using a creative narrative structure to bring both the fantastic and the realistic together. I thought of a story about an older sister and a younger brother who travel the world, but the sister’s narrative would be rooted in reality while the brother’s narrative would involve supernatural elements only he could see. When I told my own younger brother, Chas!, my idea, he embraced it, and we began writing Double Booking together!”
