It's a typical night in the town of Ravens Brooks. Thirteen-year-old Regina relaxes at home, her father and stepmother on a date while her older stepsister Pris babysits. But when an emergency alert comes over the airwaves, the two must grab their things and head out of town - a flash flood is coming, cellphone towers are down, and they are on their own. And to make things worse, a freak car accident leaves them stranded on the side of the road. Can the two young girls make it to safety before the flood? And just who is the strange figure that seems to be trailing them every step of the way?

[Cathy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’ve never heard of the game that this series is based on and although I picked up #2 to start with, I had no problem diving in and enjoying the story- which is full of all the creepy details that delight kids/tweens. Urban legends, a dark and stormy night, kids left to fend for themselves against an odd (but perhaps redeemable?) baddie and the hint of a future threat to keep the reader on the edge of their seat. At the center of the mishaps and adventure are two sisters who are struggling to understand and open up to each other. —-A lot of elements, but they weave together well. I want to explore the Hello Neighbor world more and see what the other volumes have to offer. 😊

Raven Brooks has never had such bad weather before. Soon, the rain begins to flood the streets. Two sisters manage to get out of their home with their dog but get stuck. Help arrives in the form of a strange and mysterious man.

The plot lags slightly but overall it is an interesting read full of suspense and surprises.

[C.O. Bonham · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a neat standalone graphic novel. You do not need to be familiar with the video game or any of the other Hello Neighbor books.

The villain is a little flat but maybe that is the part you need to follow the franchise to really understand

The heart of the story, the two sisters learning to connect and love each other is strong enough to carry the action and allows the reader to overlook the weird villain and his even weirder plan.

when they find out that her brother was killed because of a misshape with the ride was a game changer

The suspense and the twists are the most exciting parts of the book.

Very controversial to the Hello Neighbor storyline because of what it reveals about the guest. I loved how it was written because it explains what was happening via dialogue and flashbacks.
