Most of us go through a stage in our middle grade years where we devour horror stories. It's the reason for the consistent popularity of books like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark or the Goosebumps series. This book fits neatly into that niche. As you might guess from the cover illustration it balances out the creepiness of the stories with a humorous cartoon style for the illustrations. The bulk of the book is a series of short stories, tales told by kids in the larger context of a creepy plot. None of it is terribly frightening, probably just enough to induce a shiver in a young reader. Don't expect this one to give your readers nightmares, just a bit of entertainment.
