The Amusement Park from the Black Lagoon

(4) 1-3 Black Lagoon Adventures series. Illustrated by Jared Lee. Each slight entry in the long-running series revolves around one of neurotic narrator Hubie's exaggerated fears or insecurities, which he overcomes in bizarre and unexpected ways. Abundant pen drawings accompany the brief chapters, accenting the absurdities with snakes, spiders, "cooties," and other creepy creatures commenting from the margins. There are five other spring 2017 books in this series. Review covers these Black Lagoon Adventures titles: The Amusement Park from the Black Lagoon, The Class Picture Day from the Black Lagoon, Friday the 13th from the Black Lagoon, The Summer Camp from the Black Lagoon, and Trick or Treat from the Black Lagoon.
