2011 graphic novel by [[Steph Cherrywell (Creator)|Steph Cherrywell]]. ''[[Pepper Penwell and theThe Land Creature of Monster Lake]]'' follows the titular Pepper, an overtly British, mystery-solving wunderkid, as she travels to the small town of Monster Lake to follow up on a missing persons case first opened by her famous investigator father. Once there, she discovers far more afoot than a single simple kidnapping--instead she finds herself at the center of a vast, quickly-unraveling conspiracy involving the monster the lake was named for.
