It’s basically the worst school detention ever. When classmates (but not mate-mates) Hallie, Angelo, Gustav and Naira are forced to come to school on a SATURDAY, they think things can’t get much worse. But they’re wrong. Things are about to get seriously scary. What has dragged their teacher underground? Why do the creepy caretakers keeping humming the tune to Itsy Bitsy Spider? And what horrors lurk in the shadows, getting stronger and meaner every minute . . .? Cut off from help and in danger each time they touch the ground, the gang’s only hope is to work together. But it’s no coincidence that they’re all there on detention. Someone has been watching and plotting and is out for revenge . . .Reviews
This book is very interesting to read as it is a story where children just took risks and fought against the old people.

I love this book so much although I don't really read horrors. It is a great book. I really want to read the others in the series. Recommend to 8/9s. If wanted to read sooner watch out for the giant man eating spiders!

This book was good, it was a bit like a goosebumps book. It had a good story and some jumpy bits.

I loved Hallie because even though she is small she is the most aggressive. I recommend it to the horror lovers out there.
