(3) 4-6 After a mysterious car accident, Billy Shivers stays indoors reading at the Hitchcock Public Library until he wanders into Mr. Rapscallion's Haunted House of Books. Within weeks, Billy interns at the shop for free and falls in love with its history, mystery, and booby traps. Kerr's twisting narrative, full of snarky asides, a contest, and actual ghost stories, is perfect for fans of Snicket or Stine.
