[Jennifer Oberth · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a fun, quick, light-hearted read. I remember the Archie comics from when I was a kid. I didn't know they had little novelettes!

[Rachel · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a quick book, like the others in the series. There isn't much in the way of plot other than some inconveniences and a small reveal that solves everything. The one thing that irked me was the inconsistency between the actual text and the comic-like pictures included (for example, Candy is described as having long hair, but in the pictures, she has short hair). Fun but not amazing.
