Mrs. Snawzenberry Lives in the Basement

By Tracey Smith

What if the strangest door in your school led to a world you never knew existed?

When Oliver Carter discovers a crooked yellow door hidden beneath Jefferson Elementary School, he steps into a secret world filled with floating lanterns, mysterious tunnels, impossible rooms, and a remarkable woman named Mrs. Snawzenberry.

With his friend Elena Morales-and the unforgettable Tilly Wobbleworth-Oliver soon learns that the Room Beneath the School is more than a magical place. It holds lessons about courage, friendship, kindness, belonging, and finding the light within yourself.

But when a lantern goes missing and the mysteries beneath the school begin to deepen, Oliver and Elena discover that they may have a much bigger role to play than they ever imagined.

Warm, whimsical, and filled with adventure, Mrs. Snawzenberry Lives in the Basement is a middle-grade fantasy about finding your voice, facing your fears, and discovering that courage doesn't always look the way you expect.
