In this Scholastic graphic novel series debut, a young girl discovers a mysterious, time-bending pocket watch that leads her into a hidden world of eccentric characters and bizarre adventures. Written and illustrated by creator Jason Lutes, Half Past Peculiar: Finders Creepers (2020–present) introduces a whimsical, puzzle-filled narrative that blends mystery with a touch of the uncanny. Though the series is just beginning with its first issue, Lutes’s distinctive art and storytelling promise a charming, offbeat journey for middle-grade readers. It’s a promising start to a series that invites curiosity and a love for the peculiar.
