Word choice, action, and crisp sketches support the story, allowing early readers to develop ideas and easily follow the plot. -LIBRARY MEDIA CONNECTIONGive this early chapter book to readers who want something scary but aren't ready for the 'Goosebumps' or 'Scream Street' series. -SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNALDynamic, cartoonish illustrations amp up the action, and fun onomatopoeia provides atmosphere....Readers who relish the action of Dav Pilkey's Ricky Ricotta series and the just-beyond-safe scares of R.L. Stine's Rotten School titles may want to enroll at Eerie Elementary. -BOOKLISTChabert hits just the right horror note for transitional readers, with thrills that include a dash of absurd humor and fall tactfully short of being truly frightening....Simple sentence structure, some repetitive (but not tedious) vocabulary and a direct storytelling style make this a worthy and creepy addition to the Branches series, and the scary story aspect will likely pull in a few reluctant readers. Ricks' illustrations add an appropriately gloomy but playful touch. -BULLETIN OF THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Sam Ricks is the illustrator of the Eerie Elementary early chapter book series.
