INTERMEDIATE FICTION

Substitute Creature

(4) 4-6 Tales from Lovecraft Middle School series. Illustrated by Eugene Smith. Robert and Glenn find themselves trapped with several other classmates in Lovecraft Middle School during a Valentine's Day blizzard. Worse still, they need to defeat an evil substitute teacher and a throng of abominable creatures. The plotting is formulaic, but light horror and goofy humor, along with black-and-white illustrations and a gimmicky lenticular cover, may attract reluctant readers to this fourth installment.
