By A Customer

This book is a good book.I recommend it to kids of all ages.this is a entertaining mistery book.This book was about students in Bailey elementary.Mr.Bogey who is the substitute for the class because their real teacher Ms.Jeepers(which the kids in her class think she's a vampire)is sick.When the kids see Mr.Bogey in the locker room they thimk he's the Bogeyman.When Eddie one of the main characters of the story tells all his friends he thinks Mr.Bogey is the Bogeyman they try to tell him that he isn't.This is a entertaining book because it is short,it's funny,and it has some verygood pictures.

By	A. Skillen (Missouri, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is about a group of kids who discover that their substitute teacher is not only a football player for the town team but the bogeyman. While there real teacher {who they think is a vampire} is sick they, they have a very strange sub teacher.
He is tall with large muscle and always wears dark clothes. When a certain kid doesn't do his homework the teacher says he will get him and that night the boy couldn't sleep because there was a strange noise under his bed. His friends thought nothing of it until kids all over the school were scared to sleep. They went to a football game and snuck into the locker room to snoop through the teacher's locker. When they discover his secret he disappears and the regular teacher comes back to school.
