Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp
by Marieke Nijkamp
Another fun Goosebumps graphic novel re-vamp! This one was just alright for me as far as the storytelling went, but I definitely loved how diverse the cast of characters was. Most of the primary characters are BIPOC and the protagonist has a prosthetic arm, which I don't think I've ever seen in a graphic novel's main character and I thought was pretty great! Like the other graphic novels in the new Goosebumps line, this one is "inspired" by a Goosebumps book but is not a direct adaptation of Fever Swamp, for anyone curious about that. I think it's a great addition for new Goosebumps readers as well as those of us who still love the nostalgia, because while it is modern and very different from the old books, it has that really fun, high-stakes, creepy vibe that we all know and love from Stine's stories. ♥
