Megan’s Brood is the tween’s version of Gremlins. You remember those slimy, icky
creatures that wrecked havoc that Christmas Eve? They were hideous, yet
strangely adorable? Same scenario here.
It all
started with a glowing membrane sac hidden deep in the attic. She didn’t know
what it was, but she knew something was growing inside.
Eventually,
a “brood” hatches from this massive membrane, odd creatures that were strangely
fascinating. Being an eccentric kid, Megan had no fear and instead cared for
the little dumplings. Little did she realize that this brood would turn her
world upside down.
I loved the
illustrations—monochromatic with strong contrasts for a spooky and mysterious
feel.
Story was
simple, relatable, and a fitting candidate for Middle Grade readers. Although
this had some frightening elements, the book is not scary. It’s a fun story!
Can’t wait for the next adventure in the series!
My rating: 4 stars
