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.

Meggie Ramm (they/them) is a nonbinary cartoonist from Michigan. They spent their 20s teaching comics to kids in Oakland, California, and it was the best job in the whole world. They’ve had work in The New Yorker, have worked with Everyday Feminism and Silver Sprocket, and have a limerick-based comic strip called The Littlest Dungeon Guard distributed through Sunday HaHa. They love rhymes, reading gay sci-fi and fantasy, and comics.
