Editorial Reviews

11/01/2013
Gr 3–6—Kids won't be able to resist these exciting collections of ghostly tales-even if they do have to sleep with the lights on. After all, what child doesn't want to read about paranormal prisons or the Mongolian Death Worm? The color palette is appropriately dark and the font choice is reminiscent of typewriter text, which adult readers may find distracting but is unlikely to bother children. The content is introductory and not exactly curriculum-based, but the further reading suggestions and topical websites provided through a publisher's link will help students who want to learn more. Overall, worthwhile additions that will deliver on both the joy of reading and the fright factor.
