Scared In School

Written by Roberta Simpson Brown

In Scared In School, author Roberta Simpson Brown takes readers to the 13th Street School, a place that attracts the creepy and the warped rather than the gifted. This spine-chilling collection features terrifying tales where computers take "delete" keys literally and unruly students are turned into chalk dust. Perfect for middle-schoolers who love a good scare, these stories prove that high school can be much more frightening than just exams and homework.
