Robert's school district was restructured, which means all his friends attend his old school and he has to go to the new Lovecraft Middle School, where the only kid he knows is his bully, Glenn. Robert soon meets Karina, a girl who seems annoyingly concerned with getting Robert to stand up to Glenn. She also knows more about hidden rooms of the school than the staff. When two of his classmates disappear, tentacles try to pull Glenn into a school locker, and Robert sees the science teacher eat a hamster, he starts to think something strange is going on at the new school.
The cover is a very cool hologram that shows a normal, grim man, and then a grinning demon. (

This book is a great start to a fun series. I love the little drawings throughout the books. The story has engaging characters. (

Decent mystery and likeable characters. This is light, but I think it's a good read for reluctant or low level readers with fun content. (

I admit, it was the series that caught my eye: Tales from Lovecraft Middle School. I'm a sucker for Lovecraftian horror. This book had lots of promise; it was fulfilled on a middle school reader's level.

Yes, there was gentle horror for those of us used to Lovecraft -- I would certainly think it appropriate for the target audience. There was also a not-subtle message about bullying.

I've read too much in this genre to be surprised by this predictable book. However, for the young reader, I think it would be a page-turner. I certainly read it quickly.

Recommended for Lovecraftian completists and for middle-grade readers who like spooky stories. (

This book was a lot more enjoyable than I expected. This book was another one that I could barely out down, and that's saying a lot seeing I'm not really into Middle Grade books. Well written, characters believable, and even a little creepy.

It only got a 4 because I wasn't blown away but still loved it, if goodreads allowed for me to give it a 4.5, I would have. I will going on to the second book and allowing my 10 year old to read it. (
