Synopsis

"Frankie Corzo pulls out all the stops as she narrates this clever story of the tea-drinking, pink-clad Ladybird Scouts and the inter-dimensional monsters they must destroy. With impressive emotional range, Corzo brings out Prue's cautious excitement as she connects with the newbies and embraces the thrill of the hunt. Corzo captures her exhilaration, as well as her yearning for normalcy and her tender feelings for her boyfriend, Kyle."- AudioFile Magazine

Prudence Perry is a third-generation Ladybird Scout who must battle literal (and figurative) monsters and the weight of her legacy in Scout's Honor by Lily Anderson, a YA paranormal perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Sixteen-year-old Prudence Perry is a legacy Ladybird Scout, born to a family of hunters sworn to protect humans from mulligrubs—interdimensional parasites who feast on human emotions like sadness and anger. Masquerading as a prim and proper ladies' social organization, the Ladybirds brew poisons masked as teas and use knitting needles as daggers, at least until they graduate to axes and swords.

Three years ago, Prue’s best friend was killed during a hunt, so she kissed the Scouts goodbye, preferring the company of her punkish friends lovingly dubbed the Criminal Element much to her mother and Tía Lo’s disappointment. However, unable to move on from her guilt and trauma, Prue devises a risky plan to infiltrate the Ladybirds in order to swipe the Tea of Forgetting, a restricted tincture laced with a powerful amnesia spell.

But old monster-slaying habits die hard and Prue finds herself falling back into the fold, growing close with the junior scouts that she trains to fight the creatures she can’t face. When her town is hit with a mysterious wave of demons, Prue knows it’s time to confront the most powerful monster of all: her past.

I was instantly drawn in by this cover and the premise sounded fun. I was a huge Buffy fan and this book promised the same type of entertainment.

I have to put this book down. I’m almost 50% through and nothing has happened. Reasoning: I’m not sure what the crux of the story is. The concept is great. I love the idea of badass Girl Scouts fighting grubs (monsters) but, unfortunately the story isn’t going anywhere. If it is, it shouldn’t take o......more

I picked it because I wanted a book pronto and this was available, I didn’t think I’d like it this much! Creative new type of story setting with some dispersed pearls of unexpectedly on point social commentary.......more
