Ratings and reviews

After reading the first chapter, my 6 year old daughter wouldn't let me stop there. She laughed throughout and can't wait to hear more of the story in the morning. I will definitely be buying the entire series.

(written by a third grader) I think the book was interesting because the school was alive. The book is a good fit for third graders. The book is a little scary, lots of surprises, and Sam is a brave kid who saves the whole school. All of the characters work together to save the school. The words were pretty easy to understand.

Rebecca thank you very much God bless you and thank you for everything in life
