Sam teams up with friends Lucy and Antonio to stop this scary school before it's too late! Accelerated Reading Level 3.4 Review: Spooky Adventure for Kids! - In the words of my first grade daughter, "This book will freak your mind!" When Sam Graves is assigned as hall monitor, he has no idea just how dangerous a job it is. He is positive the school is trying to eat him, but nobody believes him except for a creepy old janitor. But at the school play, the school becomes more dangerous than ever and it's up to Sam to save everyone. My daughter loves creepy books that aren't actually scary, so this was a perfect choice for her. She loved it! It was such a fun book to read. It was fast paced, action packed, and really spooky. I liked the way Sam had to be brave and rescue his friends. I also liked the old janitor, Mr. Nekobi. He was kind of creepy in his own way and the reader isn't sure he's a good guy. If you have a newly independent reader that likes spooky themes, give this book a try. It's a fully developed story with great characters and lots of suspense. There are pictures in every page, too. Content: mild suspense (the school is trying to eat children) Review: Good for struggling readers - My son is in 5th grade and has really struggled with reading. I am always on the lookout for books that will be interesting enough that he wants to read them, but yet are easy enough that he won't give up in frustration. The School is Alive seems to hit that spot for my son. Things about this book that I liked: -An interesting story that kept my son wanting to read. -Lots of pictures that gave context to the story to make it easier to figure out what words he was reading. -It's a "chapter book", so he avoids the stigma of not reading "chapter books." Additionally, it gives him good places to take a break and then start up again. -All of the above makes reading fun for my son, and not a chore. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #20,025 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #48 in Children's Halloween Books (Books) #137 in Children's Spine-Chilling Horror #290 in Children's Chapter Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,650 Reviews | ## Images ![The School is Alive!: A Branches Book (Eerie Elementary #1) (1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EPZmJIbbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spooky Adventure for Kids! *by D***A on December 3, 2014* In the words of my first grade daughter, "This book will freak your mind!"

That’s huge for them. They are a fifth grade reading remediation group. Reading has been a struggle for them. The story was very interesting and it captured their imaginations. I would say that this book would be great for second or third grade level readers. Fair warning: It’s a little spooky so if you work at a Christian school or have students whose families would object to a school which is alive, or if you are a parent who doesn’t want their child reading about creepy things, buy some other book. There’s nothing awful in the book, though. The school is alive. It wants to get the children. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/5887414-the-school-is-alive-a-branches-book-eerie-elementary-1](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/5887414-the-school-is-alive-a-branches-book-eerie-elementary-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
