Dreadful news, ghouls: Fearleading tryouts are upon us again—the time of year when every ghoul can be found practicing their tryout routines in the hallways. But the shouts of, “Go, Fright, Win!” have almost been drowned out by the sound of Cleo de Nile shaking in her Scaremes boots. Without her ghoul squad behind her, Cleo’s reign as queen bee is losing commoner support, and she needs a spot on the team to secure her dynasty for another scaremester. Every ghoul knows that the fearleaders run the school, and none know that better than our queen bee. Nothing will stop her from another year in the gore-geous uniform. But you know what they say... It’s lonely at the top of the pyramid. —XOXO CryptCrier Note: For Monster High: New Scaremester series, collect the connecting A Covers on issues #1–4!
