Benjamin Pratt & Keepers of the School

review 1: Book 2 in the series-- Ben and his friend, Jill, are trying to save their historic school from being torn down and turned into an amusement park. The school's builder left clues and secret hiding places in the school (a la a pirate treasure hunt) in case the "keepers" of the school ever needed to protect it. The book is different from other Clements' school based books. It is definitely a fun scavenger hunt, and the reader gets drawn into all of the clues the main characters uncover.
review 2: This was the only "Keepers of the School" book available at the library, so as a fan of Andrew Clements, I thought I'd check it out. I generally assume with book series that each book will have a story arc and be able to stand alone--at least somewhat. However, I was d... moreisappointed to discover that this assumption was wrong with this book. While the book is an engaging and quick read (meriting my three-star rating), "Fear Itself" seems more like the middle of a three part book than a book of its own. Are series so popular now that authors are just cutting larger books into pieces to sell more copies? With the brilliant way Clements handled his "Things" series, this one just leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. less
