1-3Eerie Elementary series.
Illustrated by
Sam Ricks.
The fifth entry in the early-chapter-book series finds hall monitor Sam and friends trapped inside their school--a "living, breathing" building made animate by mad scientist Orson Eerie--during a huge blizzard. The story contains just enough tension and fright for young readers; an accessible text rife with energetic sound effects is further enlivened by shadowy black-and-white illustrations.
