How I Broke My School Diane Owens

Enter Anna's school, where fantasy overtakes reality and funny gets a bit scary.

Thunderous crashes, flickering lights, unexplained wind gusts. The principal says it's just faulty wiring. Others believe a dead janitor haunts the school. Either way, it's not the best place for a 12-year-old who already worries way too much about her mom, her friends, her grades. After Anna's fears lead to a moment of panic and the school bully calls her a freak, Anna is eager to prove she's braver than everyone thinks. But sneaking into the school's basement to confront the dead janitor is not the answer. Instead of finding a ghost, Anna discovers the real cause of the strange happenings in her school. Now no one is the same. And things are about to get a whole lot stranger.

For those looking for chuckles and chills, this humorous, suspenseful fantasy calls upon the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang to explore the true meaning of courage and bravery.
