Gustav Gloom and the Inn of Shadows

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Kristen Margiotta. In book five, ten-year-old Fernie has tracked down older sister Pearlie and their friend, Gustav Gloom, and the three continue their journey through the Dark Country to confront Lord Obsidian and rescue their fathers. Along the way they make some new allies (and enemies), and more of Gustav's family's backstory emerges. Shadowy, Tim Burton–esque black-and-white illustrations enhance the suspense.
