What is The Thing in the Basement about?

When Scott starts at a new school, the huge Victorian building feels strange and unfamiliar. Then he notices a fierce smell of heat, soot and burning coming from the basement. A sudden bang, flash and roar convince him that something dangerous is hiding below. As Scott investigates, the clues begin to point towards a terrifying possibility: could a dragon be living beneath the school? But there is more to the mystery than meets the eye, and only Mr Crawley seems to know the truth.
