I admit, a cover of a book can persuade me to read a book.

Once again Robert and his “unique” best friends, the strange group of heroes must put an end to their campaign and prevent the monsters from taking control of his middle school. If that isn’t bad enough, one of them is running for Student Council President, determined to take control of the school. In the second book, The Slither Sisters, after barely escaping the creatures that lie waiting in Lovecraft Middle School, Robert discovers that two of his classmates, twins Sarah and Sylvia Price, are actually horrible and hideous monsters in disguise.

The story (and secrets!) behind the school are far darker and deadlier than can possibly be imagined. Within the first few days of school Robert discovers his mother was right Lovecraft Middle School isn’t your average middle school. All of this is just the tip of the iceberg. Robert gets lost (literally lost, not just losing track of time or getting lost in a book) in the school library. His science teacher, Professor Gargoyle, is a bit odd. On the first day, students find rats running down the halls and in the classroom. What makes it worse is that when he walks into school on the first day, Robert runs into Glenn Torkells, the bully who tormented him in middle school. His mom raved about the school, talking about all the great technology and the fact that it was built using all recycled material. In the first book, Professor Gargoyle, Robert finds himself assigned to Lovecraft Middle School in the south part of town While all his friends were assigned to attend another middle school. My experience couldn’t compare to seventh-grader Robert Arthur’s experience at Lovecraft Middle School. Okay, when I started middle school I knew things were going to be a little weird.
