– Lovecraft Middle School is great creepy fun!”—Ransom

horror. The changing image on the cover will snag interest, and the

hints of age-appropriate, Lovecraftian otherness...with none of the
purple prose.”—Kirkus Reviews

Lovecraft offer plenty of excitement, and reluctant readers will
likely stick around to see just how this story ends.”—School

by these books in the store or library and not picking it up for a
closer look!”—Wired.com’s GeekDad
