No Place for Monsters #2
School of Phantoms
In this spine-tingling follow-up to No Place for Monsters, which Diary of a Wimpy Kid author Jeff Kinney called "wildly imaginative and totally terrifying," a group of unlikely friends must band together to protect their town from the monsters that are threatening to destroy it.
The storm is coming. Who will survive?
It's been months since Levi and Kat defeated the Boojum and rescued their town's forgotten children. But now the strangeness has started hundreds of creepy snowmen pop up across town and a bizarre blizzard hits the day before spring break.
Being trapped in the school overnight by freak weather is bad enough. But an evil is lurking . . . one far worse than ice and wind. Worse than power outages. Even worse than being stuck with teachers and annoying classmates.
Something is roaming the darkened school halls. Something . . . hungry. Now it's up to a small group of student survivors--along with some supernatural helpers--to uncover the cold-hearted menace before it takes the entire school.

I think I loved this even more than the 1st book! It was so great being back in this uniquely formatted story, that is not a graphic novel, but isn't really a traditionally formatted one either.
There's plenty of text, but the pages are also filled with the most incredible illustrations throughout. Can't say much, but loved the snowed in trapped vibes of this, with all the students & faculty being trapped in the school. More family aspects in here with a couple of our characters as well. Great underlying themes/messages also. Just as creepy monsters who are just evil, but also some who may seem scary, but are the best-great messages in that alone. There's 1 teacher in here who really stepped up, & I loved her. Loved the twist with 1 part of her backstory too! Also, a certain janitor who was the best lol, & I think there is more to than meets the eye. Hopefully there's still more to come, love these! INCREDIBLE cover & illustrations by the author as well!💜

I absolutely loved Book 1 of No Place For Monsters, and Merritt really outdid himself on Book 2.
We join Levi and Kat in early March, and life has returned to normal at least until snowmen start popping up all over town.
In this installment, we get to see more family dimensions as the kids are growing up and trying to find their place. Levi is still an over-protective big brother, driving Twila crazy. To counter their “close” relationship, School of Phantoms highlights the opposite kind of family. Donte, by all outward accounts, hates his little brother Jordan and tells him that he makes Donte look bad because Jordan likes bugs, has a big heart and just wants to help. Obviously, Twila and Jordan hit it off and soon realize they have a lot in common.
A snowstorm traps all the students, faculty, and staff in the school, and the fun begins.
Kat is still the true explorer, forging ahead in her pursuit of all things unusual. Twila and Jordan use each other’s strengths to the team’s advantage. After the team is separated, Donte is faced with every big brother’s nightmare–accepting that they deeply love their younger sibling no matter how “annoying” they can be. But the stars of the book, for me, are Mrs. Padilla (their 6th-grade teacher) and Mr. Chuck (the sci-fi, conspiracy-loving custodian who has some of the best lines in the book).
In one scene, when the group is fighting against the Boojum (again), they are faced with answering questions–answer correctly or become part of the harvest. Mrs. Padilla rises to the occasion (as do the kids) to challenge the status-quo in learning. It’s not about what a “watered-down textbook” says is the right answer; it’s about learning how to ask the right question and understand that little is so absolute.
The illustrations relay so much of the character’s emotions that they tug at your heartstrings, especially when Levi realizes something about his teacher that he will never be able to explain or make her understand. Her story makes him realize how very different his life would be if they had not defeated the Boojum in Book 1.
Mr. Chuck reminds me so much of Louis from the Wayside School series that he makes me laugh in each of his scenes. I was waiting for someone to mention Dr. Who and laughed aloud when he said it. For a bit of a spoiler (without being a real spoiler), the Boojum King’s helpers in this installment are the love children of Dr. Who’s Snowmen and the Weeping Angels (with a little Stephen King/horror icons homage thrown in by the illustrator).
School of Phantoms is an amazing follow-up to a great book, and I can’t wait for another installment.

This sequel to No Place for Monsters is just as creepy, if not even creepier than the first book! Kat and Levi are back after surviving the Boojum and things in Cowslip Grove appear to have gone back to normal - that is until mysterious snowman start popping up all over town. Now a freak snowstorm has trapped all the kids in the school and things get really frightening!
The whole school seems to be hypnotized while they wait out the storm in the cafeteria. Kat, Levi, Twila, Donte, Jordan, Mrs. Padilla and Mr. Chuck are the only ones not under a spell. They are chased by the creepy snowmen, who can be stopped by shining a light on them; art projects that come to life; a huge sphinx in the history rooms, and of course, King Boojum!
King Boojum is closing in on them. They must escape before he erases everyone in the school! As the group gets separated, they must face their fears and try to defeat these monsters before King Boojum arrives and it's too late! With a little help from Willow and Charlotte, a huge spider, they do whatever they can to survive. Because the group gets separated, each chapter features a different character group and the monster that they are up against!
I loved this book! It was creepy and suspenseful and really exciting. For me, it was just as good as the first book. I loved the illustrations, which really complimented the story. It's one thing to read about the creepy snowmen and the Boojum and all the odd creatures at Margalo's Home for Unloved Creatures, but it's an entirely different experience to see them in the story! There's something about these books that I find so appealing and I think kids will agree. I sure hope there's a third book in this series!!

I 100% recommend reading this story in book form. My first time reading this was in the digital format and it wasn't as engaging as when I read it in the paperback. The illustrations/mixed media that is sprinkled on each page are better displayed in the paperback. I found it harder for me to enjoy it as much in e-book form. This is the second book in a series(?)/duology. The first book No Place For Monsters introduces the world of Cowslip Grove and the characters, and the second book brings us back into that world in a new way, while adding a few new characters. I listen to the audiobook like I did with the first book and I highly enjoyed seeing the detail artwork and getting more into the story than my first read. The story was just as fun, spooky, and mysterious as the first book. The audiobook has the same narrator with sound effects so binge listening to the books would be a nice treat.
I love Willow.

The secret organization SINISTRAL is keeping its eye on Cowslip Grove. The place is crawling with cryptids! This book details their strangest case: The Phantom Storm!
The protagonists from No Place For Monsters, Kat Bombard and Levi Galante, begin to investigate mysterious snowmen that appear in the yards of the town’s homes. Where do they go for an assist? Margalo’s Home for Unloved Creatures,of course, located in the house where the Mushpits once lived.
The storm is coming. There is no travel. Students are trapped at school to stay the night. When the snowmen come to life and attack the school assembly, and most of the kids fall into a hypnotic stupor, the source of the new horror is revealed: The Bookum King is back!
Then the polar vortex begins. “It’s time for the harvest!” Cries The Boojum King! Will the students be vanished like Twila almost was last year?
Having been away from the assembly, Levi, Kat, Levi’s little sister Twila, and fellow students Jordan and Donte end up trapped in the back halls of the school with Twila’s teacher Ms. Padilla and custodian Mr. Chuck. But the Boojum King is after them, throwing all his supernatural weirdness at them by shifting reality.
Donte and Kat take on room 217 with Mr. Chuck: Social Studies! Then the story turns a little southern gothic when Levi and Ms. Padilla get pulled into an ant farm. Twila and her friend Jordan find a snow tunnel back to Margalo's Home to get help. You guessed it, it's not just a home for animals, it is a research center and sanctuary for cryptids like giant isopods! When they find themselves trapped under the snow, Willow comes to the rescue!
This adventure has it all: Lunch-food monsters, giant spiders, minotaurs! The book is what I’d call a hybrid or crossover graphic novel, the sort of effort made familiar with The Invention of Hugo Cabret in that it is a written novel interspersed with chapters of graphic artwork. A strong sequel to No Place for Monsters, with Merritt’s signature artwork, it is the perfect length for a snowbound weekend in winter!

“Don’t be a noodle-noob!” – Willow
A few months after they fought the Boojum, the town of Cowslip Grove are still in the midst of winter. Suddenly peculiar snowmen pop-up all-over town, seemingly overnight. It’s creepy & bizarre but are they moving when no one is looking? Then on March 18, while the elementary school is in session, a freak snowstorm drops a ton of snow outside, severe enough to cut off power & contact from the outside while teachers & students are trapped overnight.
Levi, Kat, Twila, and two brothers & two teachers need to figure out how to save their entire school from something evil menacing the dark hallways. Something sinister is coming to harvest them. The group gets split up & must win a series of scary games. And those snowmen? Wait until you read about them. This was a truly spine-chilling middle-grade story for kids & my daughter & I absolutely loved it.
This story is written like a casefile about the “infamous phantom storm” while looking at evidence from footage from Kat’s phone, video from the security cameras, journal entries & eyewitnesses. It’s a cool way to write a story and not in the traditional novel style. This is intriguing while creating suspense & terror.
The illustrations are imaginative & delightfully terrifying. My daughter truly loved this one even more than the 1st book. As an adult, I absolutely was absorbed in this creative & eerie story that gives nod to many stories we’ve all read before. Stephen King’s IT, Charlotte’s Web, Hunger Games, X-Files to name a few. My daughter & I are already anticipating the 3rd installment!

The first book, No Place for Monsters was so good I had to read this one. In this book, creepy, strange looking snowmen had been built all around town over one night. They were everywhere and no one knew how they got there. They assumed it was a prank and Kat was the culprit, but they were wrong. Kat and Levi have an idea that something isn't right and it may have to do with the Boojum. Levi's sister was taken by the Boojum before and Levi won't let it happen again....if it is the Boojum come back they have to stop it.
The kids are in school when a terrible snowstorm starts and they end up stuck there. All the kids are gathered in the gym and a movie is started while they wait to be able to leave and go home. A few adults and kids are out of the room at the time, luckily. They are the only ones who don't get zombiefied by the movie. They don't know what's going on but they realize they have to help everyone. The snowmen are moving in and attacking, the power's out, the school is covered in ice.....what can they do?

School of Phantoms is the delightful second book in the No Place for Monsters series by Kory Merritt. Like the first book, the illustrations perfectly complement the text. This is exactly the type of book I would have loved as a child--frightening yet full of character. The creepy snowmen really freaked me out But I loved the return of Willow.
To begin the book, Levi and Kat are making a documentary film about hundreds of snowmen that suddenly appeared overnight. They think it's related to the Boojum (the bad guy they defeated in the first book) possibly coming back. But of course, since no one remembers the Boojum except Levi, Kat, and Twila, no one believes there is a danger. But when a blizzard occurs and the entire school is snowed in, the evil shenanigans really begin.

*Thank you NetGalley and publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review*
Levi and Kat are making a documentary about these mystery snowmen who appeared all over town seemingly overnight. I loved reading through all of the evil shenanigans. This was a good mix of mystery and creepy - definitely would recommend for upper elementary.
I didn't realize this was the second book in the No Place for Monsters series - No Place for Monsters is on our 2022-2023 Bluebonnet List, so I will definitely be checking that out as well!

Levi and Kat are back with another scary, spine tingling adventure in Cowslip Grove. When their town is suddenly attacked with a crazy winter storm, and the students are stuck at school overnight; things aren’t what they seem. Snowmen and stalking the halls, and students are being hypnotized. The Boogum is back, and Levi and Kat must rely on some new unlikely friends to defeat him this time.
Really fun read that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

I haven’t had a book jump scare me in close to two decades, but No Place for Monsters: School of Phantoms pulled it off. And I love it.
Continuing the adventures of Levi and Kat from the first book, this time they find themselves trapped at their school as various dangers close in around them. It’s not quite as strong as the first book - perhaps because there is less of a mystery this time - but it’s still very good and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride it took me on.

This inventive sequel to No Place for Monsters finds Levi and Kat at school when mysterious snowmen surround their school during a blizzard that traps everyone inside. Could the evil Boojum be back to capture children? Although a sequel, readers do hot have to read the first volume to enjoy this book. Chapters alternate between brief, illustrated prose chapters and graphic novel chapters.

the found footage and game show-esque parts were really smart decisions for this book and overall I really liked this. the only thing I would say is that the climax felt a bit weak, especially compared to the sheer emotional weight of the first book

This one was adorable.
This book is about SINISTRALS that hunt phantoms that are in the area.
Levi, Kat, and Jordan are back trying to figure out how to get rid of them with help from some people at their school. It is told through the perspective of the school's security cameras and Kat's camera.

This one was very dramatic. Not as good as the last one but still pretty cool. But my thought is on the sniwmen don't they look either Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger and Pennywise but that's my thought. But anyway still very good with the monsters. I'm now very intrigued to buy the third one but yeah good work.
Well done Kory

Pretty standard scary story. Evil "something" planning to steal away children while adults in an enchanted sleep. What takes this to the next level are the illustrations. Creepy and scary; the stuff of nightmares. I actually feel more comfortable sending this up to middle school. Good stuff!
October 13, 2022
I think this book is a good book because it has a bunch of pictures that can sometimes help me know what's going on in the book I think this one is better than the other one it is way more interesting that's why I give it a 5 star rating.

I read this aloud with my kids. It’s a wonderful book. Perfect for a little scare …good for a wide range of ages. Very creative story, great illustrations—we can’t wait for the 3rd book and I heard they’re making it into a series! 💕💕💕
March 23, 2024
This was so much fun! Could be terrifying, depending on the age reading. Mixes between comic strips and story with illustration. This story has mystery, terror and fun. I read it as part of research for writing for the younger audience.

December 4, 2021I have to say that the adults were my favorite part of this book. I’m glad Mr. Chuck made that Doctor Who comment because it’s the exact same thing I said to my sister.
January 7, 2022
definitely a different style than book one and we did enjoy it just not as much as book one. cant wait for the next book though!
August 30, 2022
I don't usually go for scary/creepy books, but this series is so imaginative and fun I loved it! Can't wait to see what Merritt does with this series!

Book two was excellent at the first. More characters to enjoy reading about. The story line was fun and thrilling. Very enjoyable!

Maybe I would have liked the print version better but I found the audio version irritating and gave up listening.
