"Readers will pore over every page of this extraordinary adventure--and demand instant enrollment."--Booklist (starred review)
From an award-winning author and the masterful illustrator of The Midnight Fair comes a tale for anyone who has ever gotten lost in an unfamiliar place--or is drawn to gothic worlds. When Miss Flytrap asks if anyone knows the way to Mr. Grimly's classroom, Grace's hand flies up--she can't help herself, even though she's a new kid in school and has no idea where to go. Nonetheless, with a book to deliver proudly in hand, Grace sets off on a long, strange journey through a very odd place, full of twists, turns, and creepy characters who give puzzling directions. Climbing dark, cobwebby staircases, feeling her way through a fogged-up playground, careening by zipline from the top of a treacherous tower right into a kitchen window--will she ever find Mr. Grimly's classroom? With equal parts suspense and humor, author Chris Priestley leads an unsettling school tour for the ages, while Mariachiara Di Giorgio's atmospheric, immersive illustrations beckon readers on with mesmerizing visual riddles.

About the Author
Chris Priestley had been a successful illustrator, political cartoonist, and strip cartoonist for twenty years before publishing his first work of fiction for young readers. Among his novel credits are Still Water, Seven Ghosts, and Freeze, each evidence of the inspiration he finds in the gothic genre and in authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and Mary Shelley. He is best-known for his award-winning Tales of Terror series, illustrated by David Roberts, which has been translated into many languages and been performed as plays in several countries. Chris Priestley has also contributed an illustrated story to Hellboy: An Assortment of Horrors. He lives in Cambridge, England. Mariachiara Di Giorgio studied illustration in Rome and Paris and worked as a storyboard artist and concept designer for movies and advertising agencies. Her picture books include Mr. Lepron's Mystery Soup and Professional Crocodile, both by Giovanna Zoboli, and The Midnight Fair by Gideon Sterer, which won a Yoto Carnegie Shadowers' Choice Award for Illustration and was named a Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book of the Year, a Booklist Editors' Choice, and a Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year. Mariachiara Di Giorgio lives in Rome.
