Synopsis

In this second book in the Scary School series, the students of Scary School are off to Monster Forest.

School may be scary, but the forest has a few frights of its own, including bearodactyls; Captain Pigbeard, fearsome leader of the Monster-Pirates; and his fiancée, Princess Zogette. When Zogette falls in love with Charles and follows him to Scary School, Captain Pigbeard raises his army in pursuit. But what the monster army doesn’t realize is that the teachers and students of Scary School are even more frightening than anything in the Monster Forest.

Fans of the Intergalactic Bed and Breakfast series and the Bailey School books will love the way the Scary School series for middle-grade readers mixes spooky scares and laughs.

When an army of angry monster pirates arrives on the front lawn, can the students work together to save their school?

• Monster Pirates: Meet Captain Pigbeard and his fearsome (and hilarious) crew who will stop at nothing to get their princess back.
• An Unlikely Hero: Follow Charles Nukid, a rule-following student who suddenly finds himself at the center of a monstrous love triangle.
• Kids vs Monsters Action: Laugh-out-loud battles where the students of Scary School prove they’re even scarier than a whole army.
• Spooky & Silly Creatures: From bearodactyls in the forest to a mummy teacher in the classroom, this school is packed with unforgettable characters.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

As winners of last year's Ghoul Games, the students of Scary School are off to the Monster Forest to meet Zog, the Monster King. School may be scary, but the forest has a few frights of its own, including . . . King Zog himself (they don't call him "King Zog the Terrible" for nothing).

When the king's toad-faced daughter, Princess Zogette, falls in love with Charles Nukid and follows him home, Zog raises his army of monsters to invade the school. But Charles, Penny Possum, Dr. Dragonbreath, and all the students and teachers prove that scary monsters are no match for Scary School!
