“The Bizarre Mystery of Horribly Hard Middle School”
Introduction to the story

DOL 1

Horribly Hard Middle School did not look much different from their elementary school which was nearby in their town of Tedious, Florida. A big, one-story brick building set nestled among large trees, and a verdant lawn and a small city of white portables dotted the field behind the school like white lily pads in a green pond.
