SCARE SCHOOL DIARIES is one of Jarrett Lerner’s newest chapter book series. The books are “hybrids” — a blend of text, illustrations, and comics. Turning a page, readers never know what the next ones will look like! The first two books in the series, Welcome to Scare School and Forest Frights, are available everywhere books are sold.

Welcome to Scare School was an Amazon’s Editor pick and Best Book of the Month. It was an Indigo Books Best Book of 2024, has been nominated for several awards, including the Texas Bluebonnet Award, the Washington State OTTER Award, and a BookPal OWL (Outstanding Works of Literature) Award.
