One Horrendous, Splendiphorous Day At Hickory Bellheart
What's the only thing worse than changing schools mid semester for a boy in the 5th grade? Ending up at Hickory Bellheart! Sam is a boy that never fit in anywhere he went, but all that is about to change when his father loses his job and they are forced to move into a strange new town with an even stranger elementary school. Named after it's first and most beloved teacher and well... witch; Hickory Bellheart. Before she was executed, she vowed to always look after the school and the children she loved so dearly. Boy did she ever! Sam will be taken on a rollercoaster of a ride for his first day of school. From the buses that run on exploding Trolls, the book eating lockers, the 6th grade vampires, the gym teacher that turns into a shark during 6th period, enchanting cheerleaders, toilets that come to life, the worlds most evil teacher and many more incredible obstacles. Will Sam be able to win the heart of the girl of his dreams as he makes his way through this Horrendous Splendiphorous day? In a school that is impossible to conform to, Sam will realize who he is and embrace the person he finds. He will find friends in things he feared, excitement in the unknown and we will all remember that to conform to the world around us doesn't mean we have to give up our own individuality.
