Silent double-page illustrations tell the tale of the Austintown MiddleSchool on the eve of one of its monthly PTA meetings. At the beginningeverything seems normal, with teachers and parents meeting in the auditorium, ajanitor mopping the halls, a lunch lady cleaning the pots and pans from earlierin the day, etc. But things will quickly change, and the night will get verystrange as the lunch lady's soup comes alive and begins preparing lunch all onits own, a full moon shines through the clouds, turning the janitor into awerewolf, and a science fair project in the science lab makes contact with aUFO! The old graveyard that the school was built over brings the dead back tolife, and the tenants make their way to the PTA meeting!
