Back to School (Bone Chillers)

by Betsy Haynes

Fitzgerald Traflon III hates the food at Maple Grove Middle School—it’s totally gross. The pizza tastes like cardboard, the spaghetti like glue, and the hot dogs like rubber. Fitz has even heard the hamburgers are made from horse meat! Then Miss Buggy takes over the cafeteria, and things start to change. Fitz’s friends love Miss Buggy’s cooking, but Fitz still won’t eat it. Soon his friends are acting really strange. They’re even fighting for seconds. And the more they eat . . . the weirder they get!
