“Two-headed monsters, giant tentacles, angry demons – Lovecraft Middle School is great creepy fun!”
–Ransom Riggs, author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
 
Strange things are happening at Lovecraft Middle School. Rats are leaping from lockers. Students are disappearing.  The school library is a labyrinth of secret corridors. And the science teacher is acting very peculiar – in fact, he just might be a monster-in-disguise.  Twelve-year-old Robert Arthur knew that seventh grade was going to be weird, but this is ridiculous!
 
Professor Gargoyle (Volume I in the Tales from Lovecraft Middle School series) is full of bizarre beasts, strange mysteries, and nonstop adventure.  It's perfect for readers ages 10 and up. Best of all, the cover features a state-of-the-art “morphing” photo portrait – so you can personally witness the professor transforming into a monster.  You won't believe your eyes!
 
“Gilman's debut and series kick-off is great fun for fans of light horror. The changing image on the cover will snag interest, and the spookily realistic black-and-white illustrations throughout complete this slick, scary, funny package. [There are] delectable hints of age-appropriate, Lovecraftian Otherness...with none of the purple prose.” –Kirkus Reviews

Hope i win

Professor Gargoyle is a really good book that appeals to both girls and boys. First of all when i saw the cover of this book i just had to read it!! The book is short and has lots of illustrations, which makes the story come alive. It is about a seventh grader, Robert, who moves to a new middle school called Lovecraft Middle School. The school is brand new and everything is amazing. But the school is very strange. My favorite character in the book was Pip and Squeak, "Robert's" two headed rat. I would recommend this book to paranormal fans. People who like books and movies. This book also has many meanings inside of it, for one it shows kids to stand up to their bullies. One reason why i would recommend this book to older kids (8-13) is because the science fiction portion can get confusing if you don't pay close attention. I'm super excited to read the next book in the series especially if the cover is the same!!

doo doo

the cover is scary... i still hope i win!!!
