In the third installment of "The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo," young Charles continues his apprenticeship with the intrepid monster detective, Margo Maloo. This volume sees them delving into the "Downside," a secret underground city populated by monsters, which is strictly off-limits to humans. The stakes are high when a settlement of giant spiders is threatened by unwitting construction workers, and Charles himself is accidentally bitten by one of them. Margo and Charles must navigate the hidden world to find a cure for Charles and prevent the destruction of the spider community. This graphic novel offers a blend of mystery, adventure, and humor, exploring themes of empathy and understanding towards those who are different. It's suitable for children aged 4-11, with younger readers enjoying it as a read-aloud and older children reading independently.

In the third volume of this beloved graphic novel series, Drew Weing delivers a fresh and funny take on the age-old battle between kids and closet-dwelling monsters. As the assistant to Margo Maloo, Charles has gone on assignment in some pretty interesting locations. He's been to a vampire's lair, an ogre's den, and even a monster grocery store! But he's never been to the Downside, Echo City's underground monster metropolis that is super mysterious and DEFINITELY off-limits to kids. But a settlement of giant spiders is about to be dynamited by unwitting construction workers—and, coincidentally, one of those giant spiders "accidentally" bites Charles. His cure and the spiders' salvation lie in the Downside—if Charles and Margo can make it in time.
