My 6 yo and I are loving this series - though I cannot convince her to read in order. LOL!
I am a huge fan of creepy building plots - and this series is definitely going to inspire my girl to have the same.
Sam, Lucy and Antonino are battling Orson Eerie again! The hallway floors, the gymnasium are a mess -- they decide to tear the building down, intending to reuse building materials for other parts of the town. Orson will then control the town - Sam and his friends must find a way to stop the demolition!
Great story - kept interest. We both couldn't wait to read more.

Everett loved this, it was right at his level to he read to with the short chapters and pictures. He would probably give it 5 stars, he was really invested in the school and the characters. I’m rating it lower because I don’t think the resolution exactly solved the original problem which was the plot for the whole book.

I did not like this book because it was kind of eerie. I also did not like this book because I did not like the part when Eerie Elementary was trying to take himself down and make workers take him to other buildings for repair so that he could expand his powers around town.

{My thoughts} – Sam, Antonio and Lucy have yet another fight against Orson Eerie. In this book Orson is attempting to destroy the whole school by causing it to fall apart piece by piece. Once the school is destroyed it is determined by the three that the parts will be used around town to help repair other buildings which will give Orson the ability to take over more buildings and not just the elementary school.
It takes some technical but the three of them figure out a way to stop Orson. If you’d like to know how they accomplish it you’ll need to read the book.
I recommend this book for those that have read the previous books in the series. Also, for those that enjoy books that have slight scary bits within the pages.

Great series for those beginning chapter books
My son loves this series. Like many children in this video game era, it takes a lot to hold his attention, and the Eerie Elementary series seems to be doing the trick. The vocabulary and grammar are just right to encourage my second-grader without overwhelming him.

Another great entry in the Eerie Elementary series! The overall story expands nicely, and the action and characterization continue to be on point. My daughter and I love Eerie Elementary and are glad to know the series is continuing!

At the end of the story I was kind of scared because they were going to take the school down because it kept falling apart. But the bricks will go to new buildings and that is bad because the evilness of the school is in the bricks so now the whole town is going to be evil.

Another one enjoyed by the kids!
Still really enjoying reading this series with the kids! We are looking forward to starting the next book tonight. No idea where to go after we get through all ten books!

I love this whole series; it's great for beginning readers! This was not my favorite in the series as it felt a little less action packed than other episodes. It was still fun though and I'm looking forward to the rest.

My kids love these books and they are a great entry point for children just starting chapter books since they have a lot of pictures.

Wow, a group of children racing to save their school from demolition. Never thought I'd read that. Nicely done.

Good book
It’s a very interesting story. And it is wordy at the end. I would recommend it to anyone because it’s a fun story.

Wild that there was a wrecking ball threatening to smash the kids and they defeated it with *spoilers* a tickle fight. Go squeakers.

Sam, Antonio, and Lucy are hall monitors at Eerie Elementary. Eerie Elementary is haunted by its evil founder, Orson Eerie. When the mysterious happenings at the school get a little too dangerous, the powers that be decide to tear the school down. Sam, Antonio, and Lucy, must do everything they can to save their school and to foil the ghost of Orson Eerie.
'Classes are Canceled, is part of the cute 'Eerie Elementary' chapter book series. It has a paranormal twist that sets it apart from many other books of this reading level. The story also has a great message of empowerment with Sam, Antonio, and Lucy taking the fate of their school into their own hands. 'Classes are Canceled' has a few cute twist and turns along the way. The paranormal story-line was a little over the top for me but would be great fun for young readers.This review was originally posted on The Book return...
