Hello, brave readers! It is I, your humble narrator, Derek the Ghost. You know, the kid who kicked the bucket when a science experiment went terribly wrong in Mr. Acidbath’s class. It was no biggie. I turned into a ghost and still had to go to school the next day.
Thank you for joining me on your third visit to Scary School. Because you’ve been so loyal, I think it’s safe to say that we’re good friends now. And if you’re reading this book without having read the first two, I’m sure we’ll be buddies by the time you’re finished.
I know I usually start these introductions with something fun and silly. But now, there’s simply no time for that. You see, a group of Scary School students was chosen to spend a week at Scream Academy—the scariest scary school in the world. Rather than hang out at Scary School, I decided to follow them and see what it was like there. Let me tell you, not even I was ready for how terrifying it was!
And when an eleven-year-old ghost like me gets scared out of his wits, you know you’re in for some spectacular frights.
Normally, I would wish you good luck in surviving your time at Scary School, but this time, I think the poor Scary School students who were chosen to visit Scream Academy could use it more, so why don’t you join me in wishing them good luck?
Ready? One . . . two . . . three. . . . Good luck!
