REVIEW
One of the funniest books I've read in quite a while, S.C.R.A.M. finds Jenny, Emiko, and Brian on the hunt to find a real life troll. Using the information found in an old book in the library, the three friends start following clues that they hope will lead them to a troll. But from the beginning it is evident that not only is the information in the book incorrect, but there is a troll right under their nose. The perils of misinformation shine through bright and clear as does the value of friendship and persistence. I found myself laughing out loud on numerous occasions due to the sometimes silly misunderstandings and awkward situations the kids find themselves facing. A thoroughly engaging and entertaining adventure with some great themes and delightful characters.
