REVIEW
Sam and his friends are determined to discover what happened to make Eerie Elementary School come alive. Unfortunately as they get ready to go outside for a weather lesson, Lucy disappears by her locker. Sam and Antonio must battle the school to get their friend back and hopefully discover a few answers along the way. This is a great series for children who want something a bit creepy but aren't ready for R.L. Stine. The addition of the black pages with white type in some areas of the book helps create a creepy atmosphere. These Branches books that Scholastic puts out work really well for readers who are ready to move on to chapter books but who still enjoy lots of illustrations. The illustrations in the book are plentiful and do a great job creating the spooky feel of the book.
My kids and I just read the first book in this series. So much fun!
