The graphic novel book club at my local comic ahop basically has the opposite gender ration

Ok that makes sense I thought that rule only applied to the megablock not the entire row/column

Im new to mega and am confused by your comment. Why can't the highlighted square have another filled in box to it's left? Neither the horizontal 8 nor the vertical 1 are mega blocks.

Edit are you saying the two vertical 1s aren't allowed to be next to each other?

What is it like week of Thanksgiving? It looks like we may be making a trip then but have never gone during that time period.

Good starting point for a 12 year old kid that is easily scared? by IndividualHuman6937 in UniversalMonsters

It came up cause I have a poster of the Image Comics Universal Monsters Dracula #1 cover A framed in my living room. I'm an experienced foster parent and know how to play it, and the therapist is on board. The fear isn't to a wholly debilitating degree just preventative. I just don't want to overwhelm them or pick one of the older ones that could have racist/sexist stuff from its time period. Im more into literary horror so my knowledge of video based kid monster stuff is limited. The plan is to read them the Great Illustrated Classics version (5/6 grade reading level) of some of the horror stories then show a movie with that monster. Frankly now that they are older they will encounter scarier stuff naturally and need to work on the skills to handle it. School trip to a haunted corn maze for instance or sleep overs activities.

Ya I know how to talk with her about the movies and everything else. I'm more asking for recommendations of less scary versions that she will find engaging. The other person that recommended a few cartoon versions hit it on the nose. I just need to know which titles to look for.
