Johnny Boo and the Midnight Monsters (Johnny Boo Book 10), Hardcover

The best little ghost in the world--and his pet ghost, Squiggle--continue their award-winning adventures with a spooky story that can turn any night into Halloween

Are you scared of the dark? Did you know that when the clock strikes twelve, that's when the midnight monsters come out? Johnny Boo knows, but that won't stop him from skateboarding on the back of a wild Tiger and plucking pumpkin ice cream from the gaping maw of a Spooky Tree. He does it all to impress Susie Boom, the cute little girl ghost who lives on the moon. Hopefully she's watching everything with her telescope "These are the kind of comics that win Eisner Awards," says Eisner Award winner James Kochalka.

James Kochalka is, without question, one of the most unique and prolific alternative cartoonists working in America today. His comics have been published internationally by almost every alternative comics publisher; he's recorded several music albums under the name James Kochalka Superstar (making him a favorite at college radio stations across the country); and he's developed animated cartoons for Nickelodeon and Cartoon Hangover.

He is the first official Cartoonist Laureate of the state of Vermont, appointed in 2011.

Among his best known works are the Monkey vs Robot series, the beloved Johnny Boo and Dragon Puncher series for children, and his magnum opus, the decade-plus span of daily diary comics known as American Elf. James lives in Burlington, Vermont with his wife, Amy; their two sons; and their cats, all of whom appear frequently in his comics.
