Monday-Into the Cave of Thieves by Ralph Lazar - OPTIONAL

Monday-Into the Cave of Thieves (Total Mayhem #1) by Ralph Lazar
, 208 pages. GRAPHIC NOVEL. Scholastic. 2021. $7

Content: G 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Dash Candoo deals with Total Mayhem Situations every day. On Monday he is attacked by a squad of combat-ready scallywags and a two-tailed Devil Cat and the mayhem increases once he gets to school, where there is some mysterious thieving going on that involves a Wobble-Ball trophy and expensive perfume. 

With drawings on every page and large print, this is a fast read. The writing style is way over the top and it felt like the author was trying to push the weird envelope a bit too hard. It reads like a video game on speed. If you like your action swift and bizarre this may be your cup of mayhem.
