Book description
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.
Which is why this may be the scariest summer of their lives. Worse
than detention or summer school. Worse even than the dentist. The
foursome must face their phobias head-on at the exclusive and elusive
School of Fear. The school is unusual, to say the least. But
'terrifying' would be a more accurate description.
The curriculum is simple: Conquer your fears in six weeks or find
out just how frightening failing can be.
Gitty Daneshvari has a background in film development and is the
author of the adult novel The Makedown. This is her debut
children's book, and it was inspired by her many childhood fears.
GItty hoped that one day her fears would help her, and, as it turns
out, they have. She lives in New York City.
Carrie Gifford began her career as an illustrator with her greeting
card company, Red Cap Cards. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband
and her charming dog.
