\nby R.L. Stine (Author)
\n192 pages<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> On the first day of school, Artie falls out of his bed and hits his head. Hard. He tells his mom he\u2019s dizzy and she says:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re just worried about your first day in a new school.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the second day of school, Artie falls out of bed and hits his head. Hard. He tells his mom he\u2019s dizzy and she says:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re just worried about your first day in a new school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huh? Today is just like the day before. Can Artie find a way to change it, before it\u2019s the first day of school\u2026forever?<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> I was so happy to get out of that basement. I ran all the way back to Ms. McVie’s class, holding heavy textbooks in my arms.<\/em><\/p>\n

The rest of the morning, I kept thinking about Mr. Blister and everything I had seen down there. It was all strange and frightening–not like a normal school basement.<\/em><\/p>\n
