I enjoyed this book because I liked the part when Sam, Lucy, and Antonio found out the secret of Orson Eerie. I also enjoyed this book because I like Eerie Elementary books.

This book is every bit as fun and entertaining as the first in the series. If you have young kids that like a bit of "eerie" suspense and a fun mystery to solve, this will be just the thing.
I love these books because they offer young children an opportunity to learn new words and phrases whilst keeping them entertained with action packed adventures that are sure to thrill.
The stories are not gross and don't have anything inappropriate in them so they are ideal for parents who wish to avoid such subject matter. The characters are cute and each story appears to be a continuation of the last, but with new characters and events.
My boys had a lot of fun reading this story with me, but I also think girls would enjoy it. The mysteries are exciting and the story is short enough to read in one sitting but long enough that it would make a great chapter book for beginning readers.
I recommend this book for kids just beginning to expand their reading abilities.

This book was four stars and not five stars because when they go in the locker it's not very scary. It just doesn't really fit with it. What I like is that it has lots of mysterious things and you don't know what is going to happen next. Will they find Lucy? What are they going to fall into?

Another fun installment of the series, great for ages 7+. Exciting action, strong friendship, and an interesting back story that is revealed more in this book.

A good second book in the series. My daughter is still a bit scared of Harry Potter, but she loves this series. Small steps, I hope!

Review: EERIE ELEMENTARY #2: THE LOCKER ATE LUCY by Jack Chabert
I couldn't wait to read this installment because EERIE ELEMENTARY #1 was so exciting and so much fun--and so is this new story. If you've read one, you know that the Town of Eerie' s elementary school is not just haunted--but alive---and in this installment we'll learn how, and why, and just how "hhhhoorrrifying" that is!
Despite the "spooky" nature of this series, these stories are perfectly suitable for readers in.upper elementary, middle grades, and older. One aspect I think is important about these is that, like the young kids' books of R. L Stine, the stories help children to think through their unexpressed fears about monsters and "bad things" and give them vicarious opportunities to play hero, through the characters, kids like themselves.

Sam and his friends are determined to discover what happened to make Eerie Elementary School come alive. Unfortunately as they get ready to go outside for a weather lesson, Lucy disappears by her locker. Sam and Antonio must battle the school to get their friend back and hopefully discover a few answers along the way. This is a great series for children who want something a bit creepy but aren't ready for R.L. Stine. The addition of the black pages with white type in some areas of the book helps create a creepy atmosphere. These Branches books that Scholastic puts out work really well for readers who are ready to move on to chapter books but who still enjoy lots of illustrations. The illustrations in the book are plentiful and do a great job creating the spooky feel of the book.

Hall monitor, Sam Graves, is back to save the day once again! His school is aptly named, Eerie Elementary. It is living up to its name by wreaking havoc every chance it can. Sam's friends Lucy and Antonio are determined to help Sam in his daily battle to keep the students safe. Then Lucy is swallowed by her locker and the boys have to venture into the depths of the school to find her. While there they just might uncover the secret to the school's mysteriously creepy soul. This is a perfect choice for those 2nd and 3rd graders that think they love scary books, but aren't ready for truly frightening tales.

{My Thoughts} – Sam, Lucy and Antonio go on another adventure to save children from the school. Although this time Lucy is taken and Sam and Antonio have to find her and try to save her. They go on a neat little adventure where they learn more information about the school and why the school appears to be alive. All and all it was a fun and enjoyable read.
This is a nice read for any child that enjoys mystery type books. That is interested in paranormal type things and loves to use their imagination.
I look forward to finding out what my children think of this book once I give it to them!

I like this series. It has just enough spookiness without being too scary, is very imaginative, and cleverly illustrated to incorporate the text.
August 31, 2016
A cool action packed follow up of the first in the series. We own #3 and will read it soon.

I’ve been reading this series to my 5 year old. It’s a fun, quick read for us. He loves it.

My daughter loves these books, and I love them because of that. The first book was really good, and this one started out well too. I enjoy how Sam's friends are included on his adventures and how everyone gets to weigh in on choices, but that Sam comes up with the ideas to defeat the school when push comes to shove. That all said, this one had me shaking my head... (Enter spoilers...) at one point, Sam and his friends are in a basement that's flooding. They swim, then hop in a big pipe to get out. Sam dives down to reverse the flow of water in the pipes, and sees a 'water heater safety valve monitor' or something similar, and turns it until it hits 'danger' (basically). They ride the wave of 'warm' water, are separated, and eventually Sam hits a 'dead-end', where the water pressure and his feet break through the pipe and send him falling into the lunchroom. Now, I'm okay with exaggeration and suspension of disbelief, but...
First, they have books and documents about the school -- that they use in book three as references! -- in backpacks while they swim, etc. (Can we say water-logged?) Then Sam goes underwater, finds the water heater, and sees the indicator, etc. Antonio had used his phone for light previously, but even if he were still holding it in the pipe above Sam, how did Sam see the indicator, or read it? And the pipe... I'm pretty sure that NO big pipes in a school simply dead-end over a room, or that water will forcefully continue down a pipe that has a dead-end -- it can't push if there's a dead-end!
Again, I'm okay with exaggeration and suspension of disbelief, and I get that these stories are all completely over-the-top by the nature of the story itself, but... when the kids are dealing with physics and logic of the real world, I find issues like this problematic. Kids at this age are just learning to enjoy reading, learning to see what worlds reading can create and how readers can get lost in those worlds... To have blatant logical issues like that can completely ruin the spell that the story casts, and if that happens... I can see it easily turning a reader off a series. Luckily, my daughter didn't pick up on all those questions, but... I was 100% on board with Eerie Elementary before this. The series lost a notch in my mind because of the event depiction here.

The school is alive – and evil! Sam and his friends have to find a way to stop the school, but then Lucy gets eaten. Sam and Antonio have to save Lucy and do their best to stay alive themselves.
An eerie – yeah, the title is apt – tale of a school that wants to eat its students. A scary read for young readers/middle grade readers who like to be frightened.
The story is vivid, the pace good and the characters believable. And yes: school just got scarier!
My only problem with this book is that the only girl character is turned into a damsel in distress...
I recommend this for 7-9 year olds who like their stories scary.

I thought that "The Locker Ate Lucy!" was much better than its predecessor, "The School is Alive!"
The second book seemed to read much smoother and the story was also a lot more interesting than the first. Granted, I'm not the age group that would usually read this book, but as I was told, reading these is similar to that of the Bailey School Kids in certain ways, and that these books are reminiscent of the creepy books I loved when I was in elementary school.
Once again, I think the illustrator did a fine job doing the artwork, and Max Brallier did a wonderful job bringing this story to life. Excellent work!

I think this book is really suitable for primary students. The book is about brave Sam who is a hall manitor of the Eerie Elementary. He found that this school is ALIVE. Because his friends and he knew this secret so the school started to revenge them. Sam lead the group went through lots of abnormal difficulties and won. The school is still there but no longer be alive.
It's kind of interesting but not the one that I expected. But it's still good.

This is a 2nd hand review. I've only read bits and pieces from several books in this series, but I can say without a doubt, it's the FIRST series my 2nd grader ACTIVELY wants to read. He checked out 3 books from the library and then we bought him 3 more off Amazon. I've never seen him gobble up a book like he has with these. I rate them all 5 stars simply because he raves about how great they are. A parent can't ask for anything more.

There are three kids, Sam, Antonio and Lucy. They go to a town graveyard and they get a library book from their friend Lucy. In the book they read about people who died. But there are people, with names that say Eerie on there last names there are thirteen members but one member is missing. and it name is called , Orson Eerie, and at the end. after school that day,Sam, Lucy, and Antonio sat on the swings.

This book was very cool! I liked how Sam and Antonio went looking for Lucy. I liked how the locker ate Lucy and sent her to the basement of the school. The pipes in the school were alive, and they swung Lucy around. I like that Orson Eerie is the school! He stays alive because the school is around. I liked that this book was really awesome. I am excited to read the next one.

This book was so interesting to me. I haven't read the first book in the series, but they give a good enough reflection at the beginning to make reading this book easy enough. It was thrilling all the way to the end. It made me want to go back and read the first book and continue reading through the series. I think it is so creative, and the thought of the school being alive and the children having to fight their way through brings out great imagination.

This is another installment of the Eerie Elementary series. It continues the story of Sam Graves and his friends and their battle with Eerie Elementary school. This time, a locker eats Lucy, and Sam and Antonio must rescue her. This book, like the others, is well written. It has just the right level of mystery and excitement for kids of that age range. These books are also fun to read for adults like myself.
October 22, 2017
The school is trying to kill them. No, seriously, it is! Once again Sam and his friends need to save the day but first they need to save Lucy. The locker might have eaten her. Filled with lots of action and you learn a lot more about the school, this was a fun read. Great book for kids just starting to read chapter books. Highly recommend this series.

My son and I have been making our way through the series as our bedtime reading. I was happily surprised that he loves the Eerie elementary series. Having found a series that causes my son to make deals for one more chapter is wonderful. I’m a fan of sci-fi and my children haven’t shown any interest. I think I finally got one! Thank you Eerie Elementary!

In this adventure in Eerie Elementary, Lucy gets ate by her locker and the boys (Sam and Antonio) must find her before the school does something very bad to her. The boys hunt for her in the inter workings of the school and they discover a secret along the way. Find out the secret. Do the boys save Lucy? Read the book and see. I really enjoy this series.
March 20, 2024
The school is alive (this we knew) and now it's EATING people? Yes, it took Lucy and now it's up to the boys to find, and hopefully, save her. Once again the battle is funny and yet somehow perfect. These stories are brilliant, something you might not catch on the first reading. Just trust me on this.
