(4) 4-6 School of Fear series. Illustrated by Carrie Gifford. Madeleine, Theo, Lulu, and Garrison are enrolled in an unconventional secret institution, the curriculum aimed at overcoming the children's phobias. The story is weakened by imprecise grammar and overwrought prose ("A horrific desire to extol Theo on the rules of life...abounded as [Garrison] watched the boy blubber"). Fans of Lemony Snicket may enjoy the over-the-top twists.
