Dread Detention

By Jennifer Killick

Book Overview

The Breakfast Club meets Stranger Things in this middle grade horror novel that the New York Times calls "wickedly funny" for fans of Goosebumps Detention turns even scarier when a group of classmates discover dangers lurking in their school.

When classmates Hallie, Angelo, Gustav and Naira are forced to come to school on a Saturday, they think things can't get much worse. But they're wrong. Things are about to get seriously scary.

What has dragged their teacher underground? Why do the creepy caretakers keep humming the tune to Itsy Bitsy Spider?
