Creepy fun

Jumble Joan is a wonderful book, one of my five-year-old's favorites. If your child enjoys a good fright this book will provide it without turning his/her hair white. The narrator, a boy of about eight, and his friend Mick take little sister up to Grandma's attic, intending to give her a scare. Only it is the little girl, who, as the three explore the dusty treasures, ends up enjoying the boy's fright, as their imaginations take over, causing their plans to backfire. The illustrations add to the story, giving some needed information not stated in the text, to help kids work out the delightful paradox.
