Substitute Creature
book 5 - tba

When a giant nor’easter dumps a blanket of snow on the village of Dunwich, Massachussetts, Robert Arthur and his friends find themselves marooned inside Lovecraft Middle School.

The kids have no choice but to spend the night—while snacking on cafeteria food, sleeping on classroom floors, and facing off against a mysterious substitute teacher who may have a sinister secret.

The latest adventure in the Lovecraft Middle School series features more adventures, more outrageous monsters, and another terrifying lenticular cover!

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): awful perfume
Not your usual middle grade school substitute.

The mysteries of this school continues to be revealed in a fun not-too-scary way. Love how the friends and friendship of the main characters are progressing.

Tales from Lovecraft Middle School series:
Professor Gargoyle
The Slither Sisters
Teacher's Pest
Substitute Creature - coming September 2013

DON'T BE FOOLED by his friendly smile, his perfect manners, or his shiny red apple. Student council president Howard Mergler is actually a sinister bug-monster in disguise—and he's summoning swarms of roaches, wasps, fleas, and head lice into the corridors of Lovecraft Middle School! Twelve-year-old Robert Arthur is the only student who can stop him--but he'll need help from his best friends: the school bully, the school ghost, and an extremely courageous two-headed rat.

This third novel in the Lovecraft Middle School series begins right where Professor Gargoyle and The Slither Sisters ended—with more action, more adventure, and more outrageous monsters!

Zombie sighting:
"So you're not a zombie."
-page 107, chapter 13

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): night of the critters
Still enjoying this series with this latest addition. I like the friendship development and learning more about what is "behind" Lovecraft Middle School.

I am drawn to this series because of the combination of the awesome morphing cover (see it in action here), illustrations on the inside and short quick storyline.

Tales from Lovecraft Middle School series:
Professor Gargoyle
The Slither Sisters
Teacher's Pest - release date: May 7, 2013

This second novel in the Tales from Lovecraft Middle School series begins right where Professor Gargoyle ended.

Seventh-grader Robert Arthur has discovered that two of his classmates are actually sinister snake-women in disguise. Even worse, his new middle school is full of “gates” to a terrifying alternate dimension – a haunted mansion full of strange spirits and monstrous beasts.

For Robert to protect his teachers and classmates, he'll need to return to this haunted dimension with his best friends Glenn and Karina.

Can they uncover the secrets of Lovecraft Middle School before it's too late?

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): strength
Loved watching how the hero of this series starts to come into his own.

References to H.P. Lovecraft and creatures-related pop-up in this book which are treats to encounter.

Nice twist at the end.

Tales from Lovecraft Middle School series:
Professor Gargoyle
The Slither Sisters - just released: January 15, 2013
Teacher's Pest - release date: May 7, 2013

Strange things are happening at Lovecraft Middle School. Rats are leaping from lockers. Students are disappearing. The school library is a labyrinth of secret corridors. And the science teacher is acting very peculiar – in fact, he just might be a monster-in-disguise. Twelve-year-old Robert Arthur knew that seventh grade was going to be weird, but this is ridiculous!

Professor Gargoyle (Volume I in the Tales from Lovecraft Middle School series) is full of bizarre beasts, strange mysteries, and nonstop adventure. It's perfect for readers ages 10 and up. Best of all, the cover features a state-of-the-art “morphing” photo portrait – so you can personally witness the professor transforming into a monster. You won't believe your eyes!

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): man flesh
From the packaging to the premise, I enjoyed the start of this book series.

The morphing images on the cover from normal to creepy really captures the eye and imagination. (see how the cover works here)

The inside of the book also includes illustrations for some of the chapters which I consider a special treat to any book.

Being the first book in the series you get a good sense as to interesting and unusual things to come and wonder about. And the intro to the main character is established well - Robert is very likable.
