Eerie Elementary: School is Alive! Book Companion | Novel Study | Comprehension
"Eerie Elementary: The School is Alive!" is the first book in the Eerie Elementary Series.I love this series for a few reasons.First of all, it's a great series for both boys and girls. It has great characters that are easy to relate to, as well as an incredibly riveting story line.Secondly, It's an easy read for a chapter book. A lot of chapter books can be pretty hefty for second grade readers and this series is spot on. You get the feel and length of a chapter book on an easier to read level.
