BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ESSENTIAL


AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH


Simon Lester Henry Strauss is NOT afraid of anything in the haunted house. But the ghouls, the scares, the icky substances can’t frighten him. But there is something that does – and I’m not telling!


Murfin’s illustrations have a high ick factor!  I’m not sure that lower elementary students can stomach this.  But older students definitely will.
