Synopsis/Blurb:

Turn the lights on. Lock the door. Things are about to get SERIOUSLY SCARY!

The brand new must-read middle-grade novel from the author of super-spooky Crater Lake. Perfect for 9+ fans of R.L.Stine’s Goosebumps

It’s basically the worst school detention ever. When classmates (but not mate-mates) Hallie, Angelo, Gustav and Naira are forced to come to school on a SATURDAY, they think things can’t get much worse. But they’re wrong. Things are about to get seriously scary.

What has dragged their teacher underground? Why do the creepy caretakers keeping humming the tune to Itsy Bitsy Spider? And what horrors lurk in the shadows, getting stronger and meaner every minute…? Cut off from help and in danger each time they touch the ground, the gang’s only hope is to work together. But it’s no coincidence that they’re all there on detention. Someone has been watching and plotting and is out for revenge…

My Thoughts:

Dread Wood follows four Dread Wood students who are forced together during a Saturday detention. What started off like a boring detention, quickly turns into something of a nightmare, and definitely a detention that neither one of them will ever be forget.

Dread Wood is well written with characters that are great. They were realistic and the best part was they were all different, dealing with their own life problems both inside and outside of school. I enjoyed watching their friendship grow.

The plot although unrealistic, is one that I loved. It’s gripping and really creepy!! Even creepier if you don’t like spiders (like me). I will definitely never look at a spider the same way ever again especially when outside in an open green spaces.

This was such a fun yet creepy middle grade!! It’s fast-paced, gripping with a great cast of characters. I can’t wait to continue the series!! Definitely recommend, however be very cautious if you have a phobia of spiders, or don’t like reading about animals coming to harm!!

My Rating
