I loved this book it is one of my favorite series of books to read I will always read the series when I am bored. This has been one of the best books that I have read. My favorite things are when they go on the crazy adventures it is just my favorite to see how they got into trouble and then how they are going to get out of it. I would recommend this to everyone it is so far my favorite series and it is perfect for younger kids to read to because it is not to childish but it is not to scary either it is just right.

"School just got scarier!"- Sam Graves is Eerie Elementary's hall monitor. He has to wear an orange sash. On his first day as hall monitor, Sam Graves discovers that his school is alive and is hungry for kids! Only Sam can defeat the school, and his friends decide to help, too! The story ends like a normal book, but the middle was great! The book was very quick, but still enjoyable. The beginning was good but I think the rest is better. My favorite part is when Antonio's PB&J sandwich saves his friends.. The drawings are really good and probably took a while to work on! I would say it would take 40+ minutes to read this book. I loved how there was an illustration on every page. Jack Chabert and Sam Ricks published this book on June 24, 2014. Jack Chabert was once a hall monitor just like Sam, but his school was not alive. Today, Jack Chabert monitors the halls a different building: an apartment. Sam Ricks went to a haunted grade school, but just like Jack's school, it was not alive. He teaches illustration and design at an art institute. At the end of the book, Sam knew it would be a while before the school strikes again, so he has a lot of time to train himself before the school rises again! I think the book would be better if there was little minions that Sam had to fight, but even without them it is still an amazing book! I am looking forward to reading the second book of the Eerie Elementary series! I enjoyed this book and I give a 5/5. I recommend this book to anybody who thinks school is scary enough.

Sam has to be a hall monitor,he doesn't want to hurt his teacher said for him to be .one day while he was telling a kid to get inside for school the ground started to suck him in.but mr nekobi came in and grabbed his wrist out of the quiek sand that night Sam fell asleep on duty and he woke up and it was midnight he was trying to leave then the doors didn't let him leave and the lockers started to open and shut and the tree broke through the window .the next day mr nekobi good him the school his alive and it is a great responsibility .I will not spoil the rest.I recommend to anyone and I rate this book 3/5 stars 😁 😁 😁😁 😆
