Something is waiting beneath the water.
From the creator of The Sleepover comes a middle-grade horror graphic novel about monsters, friendship, bravery, and one last fishing trip gone terribly wrong.
Brothers Wade and Andrew love fishing together, but their final trip of the summer takes a terrifying turn when Andrew hooks something far too big. After the boys glimpse what is lurking in the murky depths, no one believes them—so Wade, Andrew, Camilla, and Tommy set out to prove that a real river monster is hiding in the creek.
