Food to Eat While Reading: Polite Pumpkin Custard

Scary School is such a fun ride.  You have to just let your hair down and hold on when you read it because it is wacky and zany.  

It fits right in with the middle school set with odd ball characters, crazy happenings and the threat of death is eminent. 

One of my middle schoolers will not pick up this book because he thinks it will be too scary. LOL! My other middle schooler gets it.  He thinks it is hilarious.  The humor is off beat and fun.  The danger in the book teeters on the edge of strangeness, but that's why I think middle schoolers are going to love it!  

The second book, Monsters on the March will be released June 26th--mark your calendars!
