Do you have any irrational fears? Do you wish to get rid of them?

This summer, four twelve year olds - Madeleine, Theo, Lulu, and Garrison - will be forced by their parents to go to the School of Fear and see if they can do just that.

This elite, private boarding school is full of gloominess and lanterns that hang from rusty old chains. The inhabitants spend endless hours of learning proper smiling and waving with their former beauty pageant contestant principal herself.

With a creepy groundskeeper, a crazy principal, and an unorthodox teacher, the school is more fearsome than the children's actual fears. In order to escape, they'll have to work together as a team and face their fear head on. With only six weeks to do it and a servant who's in desperate need of help getting out of there, will they succeed?

SCHOOL OF FEAR is a gloomy but hilarious book. The characters are entertaining, especially the bad guys. The plot is unique and fun to read. Readers who like A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS, fantasy, and over-the-top villains will all enjoy this book.
