Scary School #3: The Northern Frights

In The Northern Frights, the third book in the spooky Scary School series, Charles “New Kid” Nukid and his friends, including Lattie, a girl ninja, must fight an epic battle with an ice dragon to save their school. But first they must survive going to Scream Academy as exchange students. And that may be hard, because the Academy has an abominable snowman for a principal, a Headless Horseman as one of the teachers, and the students are yetis, trolls, and ogres!

Will Charles survive to make an ancient prophecy come to pass and save everyone? The illustrated Scary School trilogy by Derek the Ghost, with its mix of humor, scares, and adventure, is a perfect pick for middle-grade readers of the Wayside School series and the Zach Files books.

One exchange trip to the scariest school in the world. An ancient prophecy that needs a hero. And a whole lot of monsters standing in the way.

• Monster School Mayhem: Welcome to Scream Academy, where the principal is an abominable snowman, teachers include the Headless Horseman, and your new classmates are yetis, trolls, and ogres!
• An Epic Dragon Battle: An ancient prophecy says a human child must fight the terrifying Ice Dragon to save all monsterkind. No pressure, Charles!
• Unlikely Heroes: Join rule-follower Charles Nukid and his friends—including Lattie, a lightning-fast girl ninja—as they try to survive their new classes and save the day.
• Humor and Scares: Perfect for middle-grade readers who love a mix of laughs and spooky fun, in the tradition of the Wayside School series.

Charles Nukid and his friends—including new student Lattie, a tough ninja girl—take on their biggest challenge yet in this frighteningly funny addition to the Scary School series. When they're chosen to attend Scream Academy as exchange students, they'll have to face:

• Rolf Meltington—the principal of Scream Academy and the abominable snowman
• Polter-bears—part poltergeist, part polar bear . . . totally frightening
• The Headless Horseman—don't lose your head in his class

But there's something even scarier than going to school with yetis, ogres, and trolls: the Ice Dragon. As an ancient prophecy comes to pass, Charles finds himself destined to battle the monstrous Ice Dragon in order to save both Scream Academy and Scary School from destruction.
