Graphic Novel series.

Despite being hugely popular, and despite (and perhaps because of) it's being turned into a television series, Nightmare on Joe's Street is difficult to locate. We suggest your local library, or the 'Used' section of Amazon or one of the other book vendors.

excerpt from Nightmare on Joe's Street (Time Warp Trio) by Jon Scieszka
Description: The Time Warp guys come face-to-face with Frankenstein’s monster and he's in the wrong era. He needs to get back to Mary Shelley and the 19th Century.
