School of Fear by Gitty Daneshvari

From Good Reads:

Everyone is afraid of something...

Madeleine Masterson is deathly afraid of bugs, especially spiders.

Theodore Bartholomew is petrified of dying.

Lulu Punchalower is scared of confined spaces.

Garrison Feldman is terrified of deep water.

With very few options left, the parents of these four twelve year-olds send them to the highly elusive and exclusive School of Fear to help them overcome their phobias. But when their peculiar teacher, Mrs. Wellington, and her unconventional teaching methods turn out to be more frightening than even their fears, the foursome realize that this just may be the scariest summer of their lives.


The Review:

I like the fact that it could be based on real life. The things that happen in the book could happen in real life. Also, I loved how the author made Ms. Wellington a beauty freak. I kept reading until the end because there were new surprises on each page. You never knew what was going to happen next! Favorite part is a spoiler so I can't tell you what it is.

I gave this 5 out of 5 donuts.

Not part of our library collection...yet!
