{My thoughts} – Orson Eerie is most certainly up to no good once again. In this all new book, he decides to attack Sam, Antonio and Luycy by turning art supplies and art projects loose on them. It’s no wonder these three kids are always thinking something bad is going to happen when the name Orson Eerie is thought about.
Orson Eerie has figured out that he can still reach his evil powers outside of the school and that the hall monitors won’t be able to stop him off of school grounds. He show more intentionally leads the children to his hidden art studio which in turn gets his painting auctioned off during the art show. The children decide that they have to find a way to stop that painting from leaving the school, so they decide to brainstorm and come up with a way to buy the painting themselves.
I really enjoy this series. It’s got a nice cozy feel to it and it isn’t too scary. I can’t wait until I am able to get my littles one’s to sit still for longer books, because these are definitely going to be added to our reading list at that point!
This is a must have series for any child’s library. It is absolutely incredible! It has a way of pulling the reader in and keeping there until the very last page, and then makes them want more! I’m looking forward to the next book in the series! show less

{My thoughts} – I’ve come to love these Eerie Elementary books. In this one Sam’s class ends up getting a substitute teacher. The teacher ends up being a relative of Orson Eerie the guy that possesses the school.
The three hall monitors Sam, Lucy and Antonio discover the new substitute is actually on their side. Because of this the four of them work together to try and undo what Orson Eerie had done all those years ago that had allowed him the ability to make the school come alive.
If show more you’d like to know what happens you’ll need to read the book. Like the previous books in the series, I found it to be very much engaging for the reader. I look forward to reading more books in this series in the future.
I recommend this book for any beginner reader that is interested in slightly scary stories. show less

When Sam is made hall monitor, strange things begin to happen, and school caretaker Mr. Nekobi reveals the secret: the school is alive, and it wants to eat kids! Sam's friends Antonio and Lucy don't believe him at first, but when Antonio sees evidence, he advises Sam to use what he has, and Sam is able to save all the kids in the school play of Peter Pan.
A cute, quick read with creepy illustrations (less scary than Goosebumps). See also: Desmond Cole, Ghost Patrol

Sam, Lucy, and Antonio are suspicious when their new substitute teacher, Mr. Eerie, looks too much their school's evil founder, Orson Eerie, who has been controlling the school building and trying to attack the trio of friends. But perhaps their substitute may have just found a way to help them defeat Orson Eerie once and for all?
This book is clearly part of a series, but it doesn't seem to matter that much if readers are familiar with the previous books or not -- the author quickly sums up show more all you need to know to get what's going on in this story. The book focuses primarily on plot, but I do feel like we get a little more characterization in this title than in the previous one. Once again, I'm a little disappointed that while the three students do mostly everything together, it's clear that Sam is the leader -- which makes the touch of diversity seem a little more like tokenism.
As with the previous title, the book ends on a note making it obvious that the series will continue, although this particular part of the story is fairly well wrapped up. With its suspense, short chapters, and overall slim length, this book will appeal to reluctant readers or those who are moving away from early readers but not quite ready for thick middle grades novels. show less
