Premise: "A sixth grader stumbles upon a secret that threatens to turn schoolchildren everywhere into mindless automatons" (King County Library System).
Opinions: This was an interesting book to read. The plot is inventive. I mean who else would come up with the idea of school janitors mixed with magic. I loved Tyler Whitesides ability to take things that we take for granted when going to school and putting unusual twists to them. I'm intrigued by the main characters - Spencer and Daisy. Spencer is slightly OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and often feels the need to clean his room and to wash his hands. Daisy is highly gullible, especially when she is nervous and is often misled by the school bully because of it. However, Daisy and Spencer make a great duo for combating the evils that invade their school. This book is definitely written for a younger audience, but would be great for parents reading together with their young kids.
