The School Is Alive!

This was a perfect book for beginning readers who want to read scary books but aren't ready for middle grade and higher scares. I thought the character Sam was relatable. He is charged with protecting his friends from the crazy school that is doing bad things to the students and teachers. As an adult I did want to know a little more about the janitor and why he picked Sam to be the school's newest protector,but I think most kids who read this won't fret about that they will just enjoy the cool scary story. Recommend to 1st to 3rd graders who like frightening fiction.

Oh yeah! Kids want scary books and this one will fit the bill. A boy is made hall monitor and his school comes alive. Oh dear! Lockers open and bang shut. The schoolyard becomes quicksand. And the school really gets crazy during a performance of Peter Pan. Scary. And fun.
