Summary: 3 Stars
Vivian LaRue, The Creeping Danger (Harper Festival, 2008)
So Neopets have started book lines? Why not? They've got just about every other kind of merchandising going. They kick off their fantasy-novels-for-young-readers line with two trilogies, both authored by Vivian LaRue. After reading volume one of each, it's pretty obvious they're sexed; the Ghoul Catchers trilogy, of which this is the first book, is the series for boys, while the Grey Faerie Chronicles (see below) is the series for girls. (One wonders about having the same author write both, but hey, whatever works.)
If you've read a few fantasy or horror novels (or played Dungeons and Dragons), you've got a good idea of what the general definition of a ghoul is. In the happy-bunny-fluffy-kitty world of Neopets, however, ghouls are an entirely different sort of beast; they're essentially evil sorcerors who plan to take over Neopia by paralyzing the living and draining their life essence (not permanently, natch) to power their spells. Some years ago, the ghouls were banished to a kind of in-between plane of existence, but now they've returned and are ready to get back to the whole takeover gig. But they were stopped last time, right? This time, it's up to Liva, an adventurous Wocky, and her best friend Sarn, a reserved Kacheek. The two stumble upon the ghouls' conspiracy during a hike in the Haunted Woods after meeting a ghostly Eyrie named Kyrok, and find themselves the reluctant saviors of the planet. That is, if they can prevent the ghouls from paralyzing them...
As you can expect from a hundred twenty-eight-page book set in sixteen-point type, this isn't exactly a masterpiece of complex plotting, but it's readable, its characters are engaging, and it should keep the kiddies entertained. Not bad. ***
