Tommy Frazer has just moved to a new school. When he is looking for red paint for a banner for the school dance, he hears voices calling for help. On his way back to the gym with the red paint, he takes the wrong stairwell, and ends up in the old part of the school. He opens a classroom door and he sees statues of children. The principal finds him there and tells him that the children vanished about 50 years ago. On the day of the dance, one of the banners breaks. Tommy and his friend Ben go to the art room to get some tape. On their way, they go into an elevator that takes them to another world, called Gray World, which is inside a photograph. Tommy realizes that the people in Gray World are the people calling for help. If Tommy and Ben stay in Gray World too long, their color will be sucked out of them and turn them gray. They could remain gray forever!

Will Tommy and Ben escape in time from Gray World? Read this book and find out!

I recommend this book for people who like mysteries and adventures. The book is about 120 pages long and is an easy read. There are many other Goosebump stories about many different characters, but this is the first one that I have read.
