Synopsis

In this second book in the Scary School series, the students of Scary School are off to Monster Forest. School may be scary, but the forest has a few frights of its own, including bearodactyls; Captain Pigbeard, fearsome leader of the Monster-Pirates; and his fiancee, Princess Zogette. When Zogette falls in love with Charles and follows him to Scary School, Captain Pigbeard raises his army in pursuit. But what the monster army doesn't realize is that the teachers and students of Scary School are even more frightening than anything in the Monster Forest. Fans of the Intergalactic Bed and Breakfast series and the Bailey School books will love the way the Scary School series for middle-grade readers mixes spooky scares and laughs.

From the Back Cover:

As winners of last year's Ghoul Games, the students of Scary School are off to the Monster Forest to meet Zog, the Monster King. School may be scary, but the forest has a few frights of its own, including . . . King Zog himself (they don't call him "King Zog the Terrible" for nothing).

When the king's toad-faced daughter, Princess Zogette, falls in love with Charles Nukid and follows him home, Zog raises his army of monsters to invade the school. But Charles, Penny Possum, Dr. Dragonbreath, and all the students and teachers prove that scary monsters are no match for Scary School!
