Welcome back to Hobtown, the charming but bleak rural illage whose placid exterior belies the surreal underbelly teeming below. . . . The second must-read olume of the page-turning series that the New York Times calls forceful and haunting starts here in its fully colored edition from creators Kris Bertin and Alexander Forbes! Isolated from their fellow sleuths after being sent to a mysterious, extra-credit boarding school for Christmas break, Brennan and Pauline must forge new alliances to lift a curse that has plagued the good people of Hobtown for centuries.
