Every volume in the Lovecraft Middle School series is fully illustrated and features an original lenticular portrait on the cover. Display them on bookshelves and then watch the cover characters morph into monsters as they are passed by. In Professor Gargoyle, we're introduced to 11-year-old Robert Arthur and the strange world of Lovecraft Middle School. It's a brand-new state-of-the-art facility, so why do so many creepy things keep happening? Why is the science teacher acting so strangely? And where are all the rats coming from? As Robert explores with his new friends Glenn and Carina, he discovers that the school may be a portal to another world. Launch date: September 2012.
