Things in the Basement

Ben Hatke
(Juvenile Graphic Novels - J-GN Hatke Things in the Basement)

The basement in the new family house is scary to Milo, but he bravely ventures down looking for his baby sister’s special sock. When he finds a hidden door, he realizes the basement is not as small—or as empty—as he thought. Milo must face his fears in this imaginative and unpredictable quest into the unknown. Recommended for ages 9–12.
