 Spooky Books for Kids
Fall is in the air and it's almost Halloween. That means it's the perfect time to curl up and read some spooky stories. We have lots of great novels that will send chills down your spine, including:
Coraline - Looking for excitement, Coraline ventures through a mysterious door into a world that is similar, yet disturbingly different from her own, where she must challenge a gruesome entity in order to save herself, her parents, and the souls of three others.
The Crossroads - When eleven-year-old Zack Jennings moves to Connecticut with his father and new stepmother, they must deal with the ghosts left behind by a terrible accident, as well as another kind of ghost from Zack's past.
Revenge of the Witch - Young Tom, the seventh son of a seventh son, starts work as an apprentice to the village spook whose job it is to protect ordinary folk from "ghouls, boggarts and all manner of wicked beasties."
Secret of Grim Hill - Cat Peters has just started attending Darkmore High, but she can't shake the feeling that there's something just not right about the old school on the hill, and her worries are confirmed when she and her friends uncover a mystery about an entire soccer team that disappeared many years ago.
The Seer of Shadows - Fourteen-year-old Horace, a photographer's apprentice, becomes entangled in a plot to create fraudulent spirit photographs, but when Horace accidentally frees the real ghost of a dead girl bent on revenge, his life takes a frightening turn.
