What Readers Say
These tales are the perfect bit of scary, but not too scary, to share with younger kids. I can envision a parent pulling out a chapter and sharing a reading session with their kid. The stories are inventive and have some good twists. My kids love hearing me read to them, and this is just the best thing for a campfire storytime session. A couple stories even have a "part 2" to revisit and enjoy. I'll have to check out more from this author.
