Curse of the Haunted House

(4) 4-6 Cold Whispers series. Illustrated by Anthony Resto. This not-too-creepy series for reluctant readers concerns evil vampires at camp, a cursed home, a zombie-infested cemetery, and a trip in time to ancient Egypt. The stories are mildly entertaining; the illustrators' styles vary in quality, but all tend toward a generic comic-book look featuring the white male protagonists with their diverse groups of friends. "What Do You Think?" questions are appended. There are four other spring 2016 books in this series. Glos. Review covers these Cold Whispers titles: The Horror in the Cave, Curse of the Haunted House, Beware the Pharaoh's Tomb!, and Night of the Gravediggers.
