Dare to Be Scared: Thirteen Stories to Chill and Thrill

159 pp. | Cricket | June, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8126-2688-5 $$15.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by David Ouimet. Peter investigates a haunted house. Lindsay gets phone calls from a deceased aunt. The driver of Mark's bus may be a space alien. These thirteen original stories--some containing elements from traditional tales--are well suited for telling around the campfire. Though the characterizations are minimal, the stories are well paced and most end with a clever or shocking twist. The illustrations are appropriately dark and atmospheric.
