Title: Snake Night by Ira Marcks

Genre: Middle Grade Graphic Novel

Publishing Date: November 3rd

Synopsis: 

Hidden passages, mythical snakes, and cryptic conspiracies ... at this secret night school, a failing grade is the least of Rose's worries.

Rose was just trying to get into her school science club―on her own terms, without the help of her famous scientist of a father. All she has to do is convince the club leaders that alchemy is a serious science. But when her attempts to capture video evidence lead her and her best friend Elijah to a mysterious night school rumored to dabble in alchemy, they stumble into an ancient conspiracy involving a phantom snake, hidden codes, and the fabled guardian of the Golden Fleece.

As Rose digs deeper, the line between myth and reality begins to blur. With new friends at her side, she must navigate secret passages, alchemical puzzles, and dangerous truths before the night swallows her whole.

When I saw that there was another Graphic Novel in the Midnight Movie Adventures and the title was Snake Night I knew I had to be on the Tour.

I loved it as we all know what Ira was paying homage to and he did a darn good job as it was astmospheric and at times a bit dark. What I didn't like was Rose Day she was a bit self centred and what saved her was Elijah again we saw his exuberance and tenacity and was a foil to Rose Day. I loved that Ira also used greek mythology as well as films it was very clever.

It would of got 5 stars but I had to remove one because of Rose she was all or nothing and to heck with the consequences.

So for all the above reasons Snake Night receives 4 stars
