Review:

I received this book from the author in exchange on an honest review and I think this is perfect for young boys and girls.

In this book you are introduced to Scary School and each chapter focuses on one scenario or character in the school. The story is told by 11 years old Derek The Ghost and you’ll meet several crazy but interesting characters.

This book was able to keep me very entertained and the Scary School turned out to be a very fun and funny place.

As I said I found all the characters to be very interesting and funny. The book is well written and easy to read. I think young readers will definitely be able to enjoy it and let their imaginations fly.

Another thing I found very exciting in this book were the illustrations. Those illustrations combined with Derek’s narration were able to truly bring the story to life.

All in all, this is a fun, well-written and easy to read book. I think it is perfect for young readers but I’m sure older readers like myself will be able to enjoy it as well. J
