This book was really good. There are plot twist just about every other chapter. I would like the second book in the Lovecraft Middle School series. This book was the first. It is funny, intense, and more. I couldn't put the book down.

“Two-headed monsters, giant tentacles, angry demons – Lovecraft Middle School is great creepy fun!”
–Ransom Riggs, author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Strange things are happening at Lovecraft Middle School. Rats are leaping from lockers. Students are disappearing. The school library is a labyrinth of secret corridors. And the science teacher is acting very peculiar – in fact, he just might be a monster-in-disguise. Twelve-year-old Robert Arthur knew that seventh grade was going to be weird, but this is ridiculous!
Professor Gargoyle (Volume I in the Tales from Lovecraft Middle School series) is full of bizarre beasts, strange mysteries, and nonstop adventure. It's perfect for readers ages 10 and up. Best of all, the cover features a state-of-the-art “morphing” photo portrait – so you can personally witness the professor transforming into a monster. You won't believe your eyes!
“Gilman's debut and series kick-off is great fun for fans of light horror. The changing image on the cover will snag interest, and the spookily realistic black-and-white illustrations throughout complete this slick, scary, funny package. [There are] delectable hints of age-appropriate, Lovecraftian Otherness...with none of the purple prose.” –Kirkus Reviews

This book looks great, not a fan of the cover though. The book itself is great. It isn't to much drama and will give you a chuckle without lots of humor.
This book is about a school that is weird, but things happen that are too ridiculous. Rats, yikes I hate rats. But is more. There are demons and giants, too. The cover made me laugh. If you don't like creepy things, or get creeped out easily don't read this book. You can if you want to, but it would be better for you not to. For me, this was kind of creepy, but great!
I liked the book too but a bit scary
Lovecrafy was going to be weird, that is for sure but when mysterious things happen it is clear there are monsters lurking all around, And that the science teacher may be a monster too.
I love mysteries and this is one of my favorite books. My sister and I read this book and she disliked this book so much.
This book gave me the creeps. I mean Professor Gargoyle is really/ very creepy. Thanks for reading and/or approving my review and if you like a good mystery I would highly suggest this book.
