4-6Spellbound: Rm. 201 series.
Illustrated by
Betsy Peterschmidt.
Seventh-grade science teacher Ms. Fleek is more than a little creepy. Each centering on a different student in room 201, the slight hi-lo horror stories involve empty jars filled with ghosts, obsessive study groups, dragon eggs, and a mysterious door (that may explain Ms. Fleek's odd behavior). Ample full-color illustrations, words that pop in different typefaces, and very spare texts will help struggling readers with decoding. Review covers the following Spellbound: Rm. 201 titles: Buyer Beware, The House Sitters, The Key, and The Study Group.
