Or something more sinister?When the invited children finally step inside, the huge doors are locked, separating them from the world. It is with great trepidation that they are thrown - without warning - into the unknown and ask ... is this place really a school?They get much more than they bargain for when they stumble upon magical rooms and hidden passageways, a golden door and, most horrifically, their own doom!'
