(4) YA Troublemaker Archibald Smifft attempts to conjure up a monster. Miggy's pet mongoose dispatches her loutish guardian. Rough-edged Rosie meets a werewolf. Jacques's six macabre stories are strong in atmosphere, quirky characters, and colorful dialogue but tend to run on much longer than necessary.
