School of Fear


With the title and the cover illustration, I wasn't sure what to expect. Maybe an Unfortunate Events type of book? The Addams Family? This is the story of four children who have different pathological fears and their families who are at the end of their rope in dealing with them. As a desperate plea to overcome these phobias, the children are sent to the super secret School of Fear during summer break to overcome them. The school's administrator has unconventional tactics in store.


This book is written with an advanced vocabulary. Strong readers will enjoy the ride, others may become frustrated in keeping up with it. The sequel is out, which is called School of Fear - Class is Not Dismissed.
