Sonic and the Tales of Terror

A parent would reach for this book when their Sonic-loving child is ready for their first taste of spooky stories, but still needs the comfort of a familiar hero. This early chapter book features three separate tales where Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy face down ghosts, monsters, and a haunted hotel. The book expertly balances mild scares with the positive themes of bravery, teamwork, and loyalty that fans expect from the franchise. It's an excellent choice for young readers aged 6 to 9 who are drawn to thrilling adventures but are not quite ready for more intense horror. It leverages a beloved character to make exploring the feeling of being scared feel exciting and manageable.
