Reach for this book when your child is ready to move beyond simple picture books but still needs the comfort of familiar heroes to navigate 'spooky' themes.

This Level 2 reader follows Marinette and Adrien as they transform into Ladybug and Cat Noir to stop a fear-hungry villain from ruining their school film project.
