I'd recommend this book for parents who like to read to their pre-schoolers/kindergardeners/first graders, and especially for kids who like adventure and won't be scared by a dark tale with a student-eating villain.įirst sentence: “This is HORRIBLE!” said Sam Graves. The print is large enough to point out first sight words for him too. The chapters are numbered with digits, which made my son happy that he could "read" which chapter we were about to start. But as a book read out loud to a pre-schooler, it was perfect. Though this is marketed as a book for newly independent young readers, I saw more than a few large words that might be too advanced for a young reader. I read this book to my 5-year-old son, who loved looking at the pictures as I read. In this installment, during the class play, the stage and props come to life and try to swallow the students. As Hall Monitor, it's up to Sam to fight the school and save the students. Sam Graves and his two friends, Lucy & Antonio, are students at Eerie Elementary School, where Sam discovers the school is trying to eat the students. My 5-year-old loves illustrated books about kids, and the quirky title/cover of this book caught his eye and the creepy story line held his attention. THE SCHOOL IS ALIVE (Eerie Elementary #1) by Jack Chabert, is an early reader with black and white illustrations throughout. Short but vivid sentences, engaging illustrations, and brilliant pacing throughout captures the ability and attention of even the most hesitant readers. This is an amazing step for early chapter books. Everyone else may hear the ticking of the clock but only same can hear the tick-tocks morph into the ba-bumps of a beating heart.
One at a time locker doors slam open and shut forcing Sam into the clutches of the gnarled oak tree outside. It doesn’t take more than ten pages to find some seriously creepy scenes. Unlike Goosebumps, this one gets scary in a hurry.
Nekobi aging and his replacement still new, the school knows it’s the perfect time to strike.
Eerie Elementary eats children and it hasn’t been fed in a very long time. Nekobi, the aging grounds keeper, Sam quickly discovers that his job isn’t keeping students punctual, it’s keeping them alive. Little does he know the job responsibilities go far beyond reminding his friends to be in class on time. Sam is Eerie’s newest hall monitor, a position he’s none too excited about. “If you feel uncomfortable at any point, you’re welcome to get up, get a drink, take a walk, or find a book to read somewhere else in the library.” So far, nobody’s left but several second graders definitely gripped a neighbor for support. This should speak to its quality: before I read it to a class, I feel obligated to make a public service announcement.
I’ve been testing out Scholastic’s new Branches title, Eerie Elementary: The School is Alive.
