Horror High 1: The 101 Damnations




High school was never going to be easy when your father is the Grim Reaper.

High school was never going to be easy when your father is the Grim Reaper.

Nathan's father, the Grim Reaper, doesn't trust him with a scythe, and for good reason - this kid's dangerous. Nathan is granted the next best thing: the ancestral book of curses The 101 Damnations - but only after promising faithfully never to use it. Like that's going to happen…

Now there's an assassin coming to 'whack' the principal, the deputy is a nanny goat, the family heirloom is torn to shreds, and suddenly Mother Grim-Reaper wises up and demands The 101 Damnations be returned, now.
Imagine a school made up of every kind of ghoul you can imagine, from zombies to werewolves, vampires to grim reapers - that’s Horror High!

Praise for Horror High 1: The 101 Damnations

I think that this book was really good because it has the same layout as the Paul Jennings series. My favourite character is Geoff Dandyline because he is always getting into trouble for his remarks. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone if they want a great read.
