Goosebumps meets The Baily School Kids in this young middle-grade series about four unlikely friends who must band together to save their town from an evil curse!

WARNING: This book contains a very scary and silly story about a long-dormant witch's curse that’s been unleashed on the unsuspecting town of Cauldron’s Cove. It’s revenge, over three hundred years in the making. (Hey, better late than never!)

When Regan, Sofia, Bennett, and Darius unfairly get put into detention, they know something is wrong. And they’re right: This detention is far from ordinary. Their science teacher, Ms. Stein, believes that by using these kids’ DNA she can create an army of “perfect” students who have Sofia’s smarts, Regan’s heart, Bennett’s likeability, and Darius’s loyalty. Soon the clones are wreaking havoc around town and getting the real kids in trouble!

Will the kids be able to save the town or will they be cursed for eternity? There’s only one way to find out and fair warning, dear reader, you should definitely read this with the lights on.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Elizabeth Eulberg was born and raised in Wisconsin before moving to New York City to work in the publishing industry. While she got to work with amazing authors as a publicist, she also once had to play basketball dressed in a Clifford the Big Red Dog costume. Luckily life as a full-time author is just as exciting (and sometimes embarrassing) where she gets to research the best chocolate chip cookie in New York and how to pick a lock. She is the author of novels for teens and young readers, including internationally best-selling YA novels The Lonely Hearts Club and Better Off Friends, and the acclaimed Great Shelby Holmes middle-grade series. Her newest middle grade series is SCARED SILLY, and features two of her favorite things: humor and horror. Elizabeth currently lives in London, where she spends her free time going on long walks around her favorite city in the world and eating all of the scones. ALL OF THEM.

I wish this book had been around when I was 10! I'd have loved it then, just like I love it now! It's scary, it's funny, and it's got awesome characters that you will really care about. Plus, Eulberg's narration is a downright blast. I highly recommend it for everyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spooky and Funny. What a combo!
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2023
I found myself laughing out loud at this spooky (but not scary!) first book in an new middle grade series' perfect for kids just starting to read chapter books on their own, or wonderful as a read aloud (think 3rd grade as a sweet spot). Eulberg is a GREAT narrator and this group of very different student characters come together in such a wonderful way when they find themselves tangoing with a cursed teacher and trying to stop an army of clones set to terrorize Cauldron Cove
