“Roz was a robot, and she was not alive. But she was about to discover that being alive is not the same as being human”

I wouldn‘t use this in a lesson but might have it somewhere in my room

I really like the themes of this book and how it‘s done in a way for a kid to understand. Even as an adult reader I took away the messages from this book

“Sometimes the living hurt more than the dead.”

I would use this more geared toward my older students say in 5th grade. I could use this as a literature circle and use it to spark discussions with my group. I could also use it as a classroom library book.

Jonathan Stroud‘s The Screaming Staircase is a thrilling blend of mystery, humor, and supernatural chills. Set in a world plagued by deadly ghosts, the story follows three daring teenagers who run Lockwood & Co., a ghost-hunting agency. Packed with action, and spine-tingling encounters, a tale that's as eerie as it is captivating. Stroud‘s complex characters make it a standout in the paranormal genre, appealing to both teens and adults.
