Monsters are real, and they run in the family. Andi Pickman never asked to be a monster hunter. She’d much rather pass her algebra test than stalk cemeteries at night with her know-it-all brother, Jack. But when you’re a descendant of Richard Upton Pickman—the infamous artist whose “fictional” horror stories were based on real monsters—you don’t get to choose. When a long-sealed ghoul gate reopens in Boston, Andi and Jack are thrown into a dangerous mystery that could shatter their family’s legacy. Their father vanishes without a trace, and the ghouls are no longer content to stay in their paintings—they’re stepping into the real world. Armed with magical weapons and a lot of sibling banter, Andi and Jack must navigate creepy graveyards, high-society art galleries, and their own family’s tangled secrets. Can they stop the creatures before the ghoul gates unleash chaos—or will they become the next victims of the Pickman curse? Packed with humor, heart-pounding action, and a touch of Lovecraftian lore, Pickman’s Descendants is perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, The Graveyard Book, and adventurous middle-grade fantasy. The monsters are out. The Pickmans are in. Are you ready for the hunt?
