But first they must survive going to Scream Academy as exchange students.

When all the zombies of the world mysteriously turn evil, it will be up to Charles Nukid and his friends to find the one unicorn in the world with the magic to turn them back to good before the whole world is zombies.

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.

Most days, schools are filled with students learning in classrooms, studying in libraries, and eating in lunchrooms. Yet what about the reports that something more unusual has been spotted in these buildings? Are they true? According to some, ghostly figures and creepy spirits haunt the hallways of some of America’s most well-known schools, colleges, and universities. Among the 11 spooky schools in this book, children will discover an art institute haunted by a mischievous ghost and a university in Florida where a man with glowing red eyes mysteriously appears. The haunting photographs and chilling nonfiction text will keep children turning the pages to discover more spooky stories.

The Giver, the 1994 Newbery Medal winner, has become one of the most influential novels of our time. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. This movie tie-in edition features cover art from the movie and exclusive Q&A with members of the cast, including Taylor Swift, Brenton Thwaites and Cameron Monaghan.

"I peer outside, there's something there. That makes me shiver, spikes my hair. It must be Halloween. Four pairs of eyes stare from the blackness to watch fearsome creatures trick-or-treat.

This fall favorite is now a book and CD, with optional page-turn signals and spooky sound effects, sure to capture the eerie feeling of Halloween for little ones excited to trick-or-treat"--Publisher description.
