This is a great story that includes a lot of the monsters that we all know and love in a high school setting. Oh, but poor her! Her life is so hard, as the author constantly reminds us. I loved Volume 5 so much I had to get this one. That being said, it's a little bittersweet to have completed the entire strip in collection -- minus one missing strip from 1957 I believe that was not in the archive and no one has been able to find a copy (to the best of my knowledge - the publisher of this series said they would be publish it in a future volume if it was ever found).
