Bookroo's summary
In the shadowy depths beneath the school, the enigmatic custodian, Fester Smudge, is rumored to cause chaos, from extreme temperatures to explosive mishaps. When a student's locker refuses to open, they must decide if seeking Mr. Smudge's help is worth the risk. Is he truly a phantom menace, or is there more to his story? As the school teeters on the brink of disaster, the truth about the custodian's role could change everything. Will the student uncover the secrets lurking in the dark, or will they become another victim of the custodian's mysterious ways?
From the publisher
Somewhere in the dark caverns beneath the school lurks the custodian. Is he really a dark phantom figure wreaking havoc through out the school, making it boil hot all summer and freezing cold all winter? They say he’s mechanically challenged too. He can’t even change a light bulb with out blowing off the ceiling. The school’s definitely in a fix with this custodian around? Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Picture Books is an imprint of Spotlight, a division of ABDO.
