I loved it! It's like the Lovecraft sisters but in my opinion, a little more scarier. A little notice for Scardy Cats: DO NOT READ. I recommend this book for all ages but just not scardy cats

“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

I loved this book and it was so cool
This book was great. If you win get the next book before you start reading.
Looks creepy
This book is a great beginning to the series of the Tales of Lovecraft Middle School. The adventure in this book is only the beginning for the 3 unlikely friends. Professor Gargoyle is the first target to getting Lovecraft Middle School back to normal.The thing is that Professor Gargoyle is not alone. If this were to be a movie, I would definently watch it!

this gave me night mares
Professor Gargoyle is a great book. It takes place at Lovecraft Middle School, where Robert Arthur is starting seventh grade. Then one night, Robert is secretly spying on his science teacher, Mr. Goyle, who transforms into something that is uncontainable and that will release horror throughout the middle school if it cannot be defeated. This book can be read quickly--an hour and a half at most for fast readers. I would recommend this book to people who like fiction and magic. I think that anyone from 9 to 12 might enjoy it, although it might get too easy as you get older. The second book to the series, called The Slither Sisters, will come out in January 2013.
