This is a great story for children with vibrant imaginations. Each child in this story has a phobia. And not just a little phobia either, these are full-sized monster phobias!
Madeleine is deathly afraid of bugs, especially spiders. Theodore is afraid of dying. Lulu is scared of confined spaces. And Garrison can't be around deep water. Each child has his or her own way of coping with these frights - but it makes it almost impossible to send them to school or envision a normal life for them.
So they are sent a school that deals specifically with phobias - The School of Fear.
This is an off-the-wall far away school that doesn't deal with students traditionally - and it creates a great adventure for the four students!
Will they manage to survive the school? Will they actually get over their fears? You'll need to read the book to see...
It's an action packed story with rigid characters who won't let go of their phobias.
Do YOU have a phobia??? (I'm scared of the dark.)
