Customer Reviews

I really liked it!

Each story is a little scary at the start, a little more scary in the middle, very scary near the end, and, at the end . . . SILLY! One of my favorites was with a boy who said he wasn't afraid of anything and a girl who wanted to convince the boy to be afraid of ghosts. The girl dressed up as a ghost to scare him. When the girl tried it out, the boy WAS scared, but he wasn't scared of her--he was scared of the ghost that was standing behind her! This book was really scary and yet--very funny. --JTP, age 9

Cute, not scary!

My boys love this book. It's easy for my 2nd grader to read to us, and even though each story involves something "scary", it always turns out to be funning in the end. We try to alternate reading; I read some nights, my husband reads some nights, but most of the time the boys (2nd grade & Kindergarten) read to me. The level 4 Scholastic Readers are perfect for the older one; the younger reads from levels 1 & 2.
