Book three in this riveting and mysterious series by master storyteller Andrew Clements picks up where Fear Itself left off and sends Ben and Jill on an even wilder goose chase as they try to save their school from impending bulldozers. So far, they've cracked a number of clues, but all this searching has left them empty handed (if a little wiser and more savvy). Plus, evil janitor Lyman--who's not really a janitor at all, but a sneaky insider for the development firm wanting to knock down Oakes School--is hot on their trail, making this doubly difficult for Ben and Jill. Not only do they have to find a way to stop the wrecking crew, but they also have to throw Lyman off their tracks.
