Comments for The Creature in the Teacher

The Creature in the TeacherThe Creature in the Teacher: 10/29/06

I received Creature in the Teacher last year as a book relay. It is number thirteen in the Spooksville series. It can best be described as V for children in that the monster this time is a reptile from outer space.

As this book comes so late in a series the characters are established and no time is wasted on reintroducing them or their world. So coming to this book without having read any of the previous was like hearing the punchline without the joke.

Here is the BookCrossing review:

I haven't read any of the other books in the Spooksville series but I can see that I would have probably enjoyed the lot of them when I was in elementary school.
