This action-packed sequel delivers a thrilling school adventure where ordinary students face extraordinary challenges from above.

Children who enjoy spooky school stories with heart will find the perfect balance of chills and camaraderie here. The result is a page-turning adventure that proves even the most frightening situations can be faced when you have friends by your side.
