This collection by Brian Jacques, author of the Redwall series, presents seven distinct, eerie short stories perfect for young readers who enjoy a good scare. Children will encounter mischievous boys facing mummification, a daring boy meeting a vampire, a girl whose lies lead to a devilish contract, and a ghost seeking a sweet treat. The stories often explore themes of honesty, consequences, and bravery, wrapped in suspenseful narratives. It's ideal for children aged 7-11 who are ready for slightly darker, thought-provoking tales.
A collection of seven creepy stories. Maybe you don't believe in ghosts and vampires, and spooky things that creep around in the dark. . . Then you won't mind sitting by a vampire's tomb at midnight. Or being locked up with the mummies in a dark museum. You might like to join the mysterious boy who lurks in the shadows at Saint Michael's. Or the ghost who waits by the side of the road. Or maybe, when you're home alone, you'd like to read these spine-chilling tales. . .and try to believe they won't happen to you!
