Gr 1–3—In this entry of the eerie early chapter book series, Sam and Antonio are on the hunt for Lucy, who has mysteriously disappeared into her locker. The legible text, high-interest story line, and Ricks's generous and appropriately scary illustrations, make this title perfect for early elementary students looking for spine-tingling tales.
Sam and Antonio set out to rescue their friend Lucy, who has been swallowed up by her locker. For children ready for chapter books, this barely scary second adventure in the series involves crawling through the dark and slimy inner workings of Eerie Elementary School. Lots of explosive action ("SLAM!"; "POW!"), enlivened in shadowy black-and-white illustrations, will keep pages turning.
