This is a fun, quick middle-grade read. It reminds me of one of my favourite books in grade school, Sideways Stories from Wayside School. 
 It's about a boy starting middle-grade school. And unfortunately because of how the school zones have been rearranged he has to go to this newly opened state of the art school, well all his friends are at a different one. And to top it all off he soon finds out the only person he knows at this new school is the boy that bullied him in his previous school. 
 Right off the bat some really weird things start happening at the school. Like rats finding their way into lockers, ew! And the science teacher just seems to not belong. So that's just the start to where some more weird and creepy things will ensue. 
 The writing is quite simple, but it was still a great story. 
 I will definitely be picking up the rest of the series. I want to know what else will happen at Lovecraft Middle School!
