BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: MANY
Touted as 13 stories of darkness and doom, the stories cover everything from a creepy scrabble game, a bizarre substitute teacher, and yes, even a creepy doll. Inanimate objects come to life and you should probably never want to leave a piece of yourself behind.
The stories are fresh and appropriately creepy. They make for a fast and engaging read and have great twists. The black and white illustrations are well done and add to the creepiness. Just the right amount of scare for middle readers! No culture or race is mentioned and characters change in each story.
