4-6Scary Places series.
This series explores high-interest topics engagingly (if superficially). Each double-page spread features an actual "scary place," with paragraphs of history and some examples of spooky happenings. Photos, computer-manipulated images, and cheesy graphics illustrate the texts. Accessible language and sensationalized content will keep these books from growing dusty on library shelves. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Scary Places titles: Creepy Castles, Ghost Towns, Haunted Hotels, Haunted Houses, and Spooky Cemeteries.
