A Super Scary Narwhalloween (A Narwhal and Jelly Book #8)
In the hilarious eighth book of this blockbuster graphic novel series, Narwhal and Jelly celebrate the spookiest time of the year - Halloween - with a super twist!
Dive into three new stories that are sure to fright and delight! Narwhal loves Halloween - it's a great excuse to dress up in a spooky and silly costume, like a ghost, a mermaid, a banana or maybe even Marlow the Mustachioed Moose. It's a skeleTON of fun! Jelly isn't dressing up, though - he's a little scared of this time of year, and would prefer to hunker down in a hidey-hole until Halloween is over. But when a scary sea monster makes an appearance and swallows Narwhal (gulp!), can Jelly, with the help of some super friends, pluck up the courage to save his best bud?

Editorial Reviews
"Clanton's latest is abundantly fun and sweet, reminding readers that Halloween scares may not suit everyone but that everyone has the capacity for bravery. Those who may not embrace all the spooktacular scares of Halloween will appreciate Jelly's worries and subsequent coping strategies. . . . A gloriously funny and feel-good take on Halloween from a wildly popular series." -Kirkus Reviews

5🌟 Oh man this is a great book for young readers transitioning from young picture books. I haven't yet read any of the books in this series but I am for sure going to pick up the previous ones to add to our collection of books. This is a young/beginner reader style comic picture book. That follows the two main characters Narwhal and Jelly. In this story they are preparing for Halloween. Narwhal is trying to determine his costume but can't decide. Jelly isn't into Halloween as it's too scary. I loved how then Narwhal attempts to find the non scary twists to monsters, witches, and vampires. Making them fun and less spooky for his friend. In between the main story sections there are fun facts. In this book specifically it's about sea animals that have either scary names or look scary. Like the vampire squid or gulper eel. Then why they are not sealife to fear. In the end Jelly's character arc finds his moment to be brave and help his friends to be brave as well. Can't wait to check out the other books in this series. Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for this advanced reader copy. My review is voluntarily my own.

“A Super Scary Narwhalloween“ by Ben Clinton is book number eight in the Narwhal and Jelly series of great graphic novels for young readers. It’s close to Halloween under the sea and Narwhal is super excited. His friend Jelly not so much. When a scary sea monster shows up and swallows Narwhal it’s up to Jelly and their friends to get their courage to help him and to save Halloween. I love this series of books, and this one is another great entry. It certainly includes stuff from previous novels like superheroes and waffles. The illustrations are fun.

Narwhal and Jelly return with a Halloween themed book (coming out July 2023). It comes complete with three adventures, fun facts and playful puns. Narwhal can’t decide on a costume and Jelly gets a little scared and wants to hide till the festivities are over. Narwhal and Jelly are best friends in these graphic novels aimed at younger readers. They are very popular for younger grades K-3 in my school. The books are silly and fun and I’ve read them all. It is an auto purchase for an elementary school or children’s library.

We love all Narwhal and Jelly’s adventure books! They are very cute and entertaining, my 12 year old son and 6 year old daughter find it so funny! We have started this series since my son was 6, we are always waiting for the new ones! My son loves them so much that he loves creating his own cartoons! Thank you to the writer to create this cute characters and other stories inside the book! We can’t wait for the new book! ❤️
