Robert Arthur, our lead character, might start this book as a naïve newbie, completely ignorant of what might befall him, but we have whatever knowledge of the world of Lovecraft we might bring to the story, and the added bonus of a great 3D lenticular cover, revealing only one of the many secrets of the plot. However, it would be unusual to find any of that surprising. And no-one, from the pupils to the staff, seem to be acting quite as they should… The library seems to have a very unusual labyrinth of secret passages in, appropriately enough, the paranormal fiction section. A host of children find a white rat waiting for them in their lockers when they're opened for the first time. But behind all the fabulous LCD message boards and technology, the brand new Lovecraft Middle actually holds some very interesting and ancient secrets. Let's be honest – starting a new series with a boy alone in a new school, apart from his bullying nemesis, does not particularly strike one as original, or even interesting. This series might not be its own beast just yet but holds much potential.Įxternal links: Summary: Meet Robert, alone, in a school hiding many dark mysteries behind its glossy newness.
