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 fourth book finds hall-monitor-hero Sam and friends preparing a strange volcano for their school science fair. Explosions, chases, and an earthquake lead them through some narrow escapes. Shadowy black-and-white illustrations appear on every page.
