A spooky-season problem at the School of Monsters

Greg enjoys spooky season and has made a haunted house, but his friends find it too frightening. The story’s central problem is how to make the celebration enjoyable for everyone, bringing friendship and consideration into a playful first-reader setting. The series’ reading ladder invites beginners to start with the final word on each line and gradually take on more of the text. The book also includes a phonics-based word game and a drawing activity, extending the reading experience beyond the story.
