2011 graphic novel by Creator/StephCherrywell. ''Pepper Penwell and the 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.

!!''Pepper Penwell'' contains the following tropes:
* AffectionateParody: Of young-adult detective novels like Literature/EncyclopediaBrown and NancyDrew.
* AuthorAppeal: [[BigBeautifulWoman Lucy]]'s a bit pudgy. Par for the course with Cherrywell's work, but she's notably smaller than her other characters that tend to fit this niche. Minor character [[BigBeautifulWoman Iceflower]] also applies.
* BadassPreacher: Hugo Unger. Priest, crucifix enthusiast, and professional demon slayer.
* BalefulPolymorph: Pepper's brother Alex, who is a small bird due to an [[NoodleIncident unexplained accident]].
* BatDeduction: Some of Pepper's cases are solved this way. [[PlayingWithATrope Just as many of them are solved using actual logic.]]
* BigEater: Lucy, whose response to imminent danger is to stuff [[AuthorAppeal her face]].
* BoardingSchool: St. Balbeziar's, which Pepper attends. [[spoiler: But only for the first nine pages of the book.]]
* BodyPaint: Worn by Moonwater and all the members of the Oakwind Community.
* DeepFriedWhatever: Even ''soup.''
* {{Determinator}}: Pepper isn't leaving Monster Lake until she's found her missing person, in spite of all the weird goings-on. And even after she's found her, she won't leave until she's discovered the truth about the monster, even in the face of quite possible death and in spite of ''watching said monster kill people right in front of her''.
* DontGoInTheWoods: Because it's where the monster lives.
* [[spoiler: EverybodyDidIt]]
* EvilGenius: Dr. Oort...[[ZigZaggingTrope sort of]].
* TheFool: Lucy again.
* GeekPhysiques: Dr. Oort, fat variety.
* GranolaGirl: Lucy, given her continually-stated love of soy products and the fact that she attends what appears to be an art school.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Pepper. [[spoiler: Silver crucifix x dirty laundry = ultimate monster-slaying weapon, apparently.]]
* LongTitle: Most of the chapter titles. PlayedForLaughs, of course.
* MadeOfIron: Lucy again. Some instances of AmusingInjuries, but not all of them.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The titular monster. [[spoiler: The truth actually lies somewhere in-between.]]
* MundaneMadeAwesome: '''REBELLIOUS CLOTHES'''
* NewAgeRetroHippie: Moonwater Ravenwolf has definite shades of this, but also proves to be a [[PlayingWithATrope legit shaman.]]
* PluckyGirl: Definitely Pepper.
* ReligionIsMagic: Speculated by Father Unger; literally, in the case of the Oakwind Community.
* SpinningPaper: Parodied.
* SpotOfTea: A RunningGag with Pepper.
* StoutStrength: Implied at points for Lucy, in a rare female example.
* TeenGenius: Pepper, natch.
* TooDumbToLive: Dr. Oort explicitly states the fences built to keep the monster out were inspired by ''Film/JurassicPark''. Pepper is quick to {{lampshade|Hanging}} how well ''that'' worked.
* UnexplainedRecovery: Lucy suffers severe ''anaphylactic shock'' at one point. It lasts all of two panels.
