I'm not sure I understood what really happened to the little girl. But this story was definitely original, and children just love this kind of creepy stories.

Thanks to NetGalley and Capstone for this ARC.

A creepy, interesting, short graphic comic. I wish it was a little longer as the subject matter, writing, and illustration was top notch.

Definitely for the 8 and over crowd who love to be a touch creeped out and love to draw their own conclusions.

5/5 stars

Quick, clean, and simple. Love how children are given small hints at the end of the book to help them understand it better and it's kind of a fun activity too. The ending was really good too, the kind that makes you think over it again. The illustrations are very simple, but very different from what I was expecting based on the cover, but good for children nevertheless. I kinda felt like things jumped from one thing to another real quick, without much explanation, but other than that I think it can be a nice, enjoyable read for young kids.

Short and entertaining, but othe than the creepy ending I didn't find it as good as I expected it to be. I liked the atmosphere oft he story, but not how it developed.

This book has just the right amount of horror and creep factor for young readers without being too scary for them. I enjoyed the story and the way it ended left me with questions about what happened to the main character and her father. This story gave me creepshow (tv series) vibes but a more kid friendly version. I recommend this book for any young reader who likes the horror genre, fans of r.l stine,.

A short graphic novel in the realm of Goosebumps. The illustrations and story are clean and simple. I did catch a spelling error, but a small one. The only bone I have to pick is, how Emma knew to look up deaths at the beach on the internet at school when she wasn't exactly sure wh at was going on?
I get it's a short children's story, so they needed to progress things quickly, but it just bugged me. Either a decent children's scary story to give children and tweens to read.

Beach Nightmare is a short suspense story about a girl that loses her phone on the beach. The story is well told and the illustrations match the atmosphere nicely.
I feel like it should be noted that this story is for an audience aged around 9-12, and it ends with some questions that can help young readers understand the story better and overall check if they missed something while reading.
Given that I'm not the exact target audience, I still think it's a nice read and can introduce suspense and horror as genres in an appropriate way, which is quite nice.
