This series should be read in order.
Sam Graves is just another regular kid at a regular (although kinda creepy) elementary school . . . until his first day as hall monitor when he learns a deep, dark secret about his so-called-ordinary school. It's ALIVE! Now Sam and his best friends Lucy and Antonio must defend themselves and their fellow students against the evil school!
