Malice is the perfect book for kids who aren't afraid of the dark. Believe me, there's plenty of darkness in this graphic novel hybrid! Part comic, part thriller novel, this book will keep middle schoolers on the edge of their seats with a mix of horror and suspense.
Everybody at Kady's school has heard of Malice. It's a secret comic series about an alternate world, full of deadly tricks and traps. The sinister Tall Jake is master of this alternate reality, and if you want to get in, you must say the rhyme six times: Tall Jake, take me away.
Kady is overcome by trepidation when her friend Luke says the rhyme. She's not sure why, but she knows that Malice is evil, and that Tall Jake is no fairytale meant to scare gullible kids. When Luke disappears the very next day, Kady and Seth are sure that something horrible has happened. There's only one way to help Luke, and that's to enter the nightmare world of Malice...and do their best to survive.
This wildly popular book is unique and original in it's darkly inventive descriptions (and pictures!) of Malice's beasts and monsters. Highly recommended for brave kids.
