Synopsis

Fifth-grader Ned Bradley should have been relieved to hear that Victory School was closing forever at the end of the semester. Ned had seen the specters of long-dead students wandering the halls after the final bell and heard the voices of former teachers reprimanding long after the school should have been empty--plus there were all those strange accidents. He should have been relieved...but Ned knows that the ghosts of Victory School have only a few short months left to enact their revenge.
