Can you escape Monster School?
Jasmin, Alex, and Elias were sent to Crag Academy for one reason: to unplug. This creepy, gothic school isn’t on any map, its living stone walls pulse with strange energy, and the number one rule is no phones. For three kids used to living online, it’s their worst nightmare.
Their real trouble starts with Ms. Mortis, a teacher who talks at her students but never truly listens. When Elias says a mysterious word, it unleashes a curse that starts freezing Ms. Mortis. With time running out to undo the curse, they must decode a crow’s clue, outsmart a hellhound, and uncover a secret history of curses that have plagued the school for decades.
But the biggest challenge of all? A logician, an empath, and a creative maverick must learn to work together or their teacher will be lost.
More than a thrilling fantasy, Eudora Mortis tells a powerful story about the magic of listening, the strength in teamwork, and how clear communication can solve the trickiest problems. It’s the perfect book to spark conversations about empathy and cooperation. Families and educators can use each book in the Crag Academy series to approach positive social skills (SEL), emotional intelligence, and the challenges of growing up with good-natured humor.
Includes jokes, a fun quiz, discussion questions, and social games to play offline.
Can three mismatched kids teach Ms. Mortis the lesson she never learned? And who is the mysterious Keeper of the Curses pulling the strings?
Unravel the creepy secrets of Crag Academy, where teachers are monsters, and only their students can save them.
