Batcat is back and cooking up something extra special in the new graphic novel in Meggie Ramm’s hilarious early reader series

There’s something delicious in the air on Spooky Isle . . . it’s the scent of fall!

The changing of seasons means Spooky Isle transforms into an autumnal wonderland—the tree leaves and the skull on Mount Marrow change colors, the air gets crisper, and, best of all, the Night Festival arrives!

Celebrating food, friends, found family, and festivities, everyone is excited for the next full moon. And this year, Al will enter the cooking contest! But Al doesn’t know what to cook . . . and he really, really wants to win! Together, Batcat and Al search for the perfect recipe and learn that sometimes winning doesn’t always mean coming in first place.

Filled with pun-derful, spooky (but not too spooky) humor, Cooking Contest! is perfect for fans of Investigators, the Narwhal and Jelly series, and the Astrid and Stella series.

"[A] delightful spooky story...Batcat and friends have another hit, this time with a healthy dose of friendship, and a lot of food. A wonderful book for all seasons." - School Library Journal
