“Though short in length, this title packs a morbid punch with each child’s violent death (by gunshot, freezing, burning) and ends on a hair-raisingly creepy note . . . . A quick, compelling read perfectly suited to its target audience.” —Kirkus

“Though each ghost story is different, they successfully build up to the ultimate twist ending. Minimal descriptions of the characters and setting will allow readers to imagine scenes at their own preferred degree of fright, with hatchwork illustrations to enhance the reading experience. Short chapters combined with a dyslexia-friendly layout and typeface make this title particularly suited for reluctant or struggling young readers.”—School Library Journal
