When a giant nor’easter dumps a blanket of snow on the village of Dunwich, Massachussetts, Robert Arthur and his friends find themselves marooned inside Lovecraft Middle School. The kids have no choice but to spend the night—while snacking on cafeteria food, sleeping on classroom floors, and facing off against a mysterious substitute teacher who may have a sinister secret. The latest adventure in the Lovecraft Middle School series features more adventures, more outrageous monsters, and another terrifying lenticular cover!

my thoughts:

Fabulous book for middle grade students.  If your child, or yourself for that matter, like strange, spooky stories you will love this series.  The fourth installment is the strangest by far.  The substitute creature is a quick read.  It doesn't have the 'yuck' factor of the previous book, no bugs!!  In this installment we are finally introduced to the old man himself.  

Kids will enjoy the morphing book covers.  The language of these books is easy to read, not too challenging, but not too simple.  Easy enough for a 12-14 year old to keep reading without difficulty.  

Of the four books so far, I enjoyed this one the best.  We see a growing friendship between Robert, Glenn and Karina.   I look forward to the continuing adventures of these three in their quest to defeat the evil intentions of Crawford Tillinghast.
