1-3Eerie Elementary series.
Illustrated by
Sam Ricks.
For children ready for chapter books, this slightly spooky series about a personified school contains plenty of action and just enough plot complication. The third book finds hall-monitor hero Sam and friends chasing a soccer ball into the creepy woods along school grounds, where sudden fog and a strange swamp make for some narrow escapes. Shadowy black-and-white illustrations appear on every page.
