Sam is the hall monitor at Eerie Elementary, but his job requires more than watching out for students doing things they aren't supposed to. Instead, he, along with his friends Lucy and Antonio, must protect the school from Orson Eerie. He's a scientist who made himself a part of the school.

Now, Orson spends his days wreaking havoc on unsuspecting students, especially Sam. What better chance to cause some chaos than during a Kickball Showdown? Orson tries to get Sam in trouble and winds up getting him fired from his role as hall monitor, but Sam isn't going to give up that easily.

I really enjoyed the spooky element in this story and love the whole idea of a school being controlled by an evil scientist. I love how Lucy and Antonio are always there to help Sam when he needs it and that they're a powerful team. This was my first Eerie Elementary book but it makes me want to look into more.


Final Verdict: I recommend this to early readers who are getting into chapter books, especially those who like spooky, unique, and mysterious stories.
