Mildew and Sponge don't think much of Maudlin Towers, the blackened,
gloom-laden, gargoyle-infested monstrosity that is their school. But
when they are told the school might close, our heroes realize being
apart and somewhere else could be even worse!
What starts out as a secret hunt for buried treasure quickly becomes
weirder than Mildew and Sponge could ever have imagined. Who is that new
boy who can get people to do whatever he wants just by looking them
intently in the eye? (A hypnotist!) Why does that strange teacher have
tattoos and a beard? (He's really a pirate also looking for the
treasure!) Could their heartbroken English teacher hold the key to this
riddle of riddles? (Just maybe...) Most importantly, can Mildew and
Sponge save the day - and the school - once more?
