Easy quick read, my kids love spooky stories so I try to find new ones and tell them.

[Alyssa Nira]

A collection of spooky stories, mid level reading. probably most suitable for middle schoolers. I enjoyed it! nothing overtly scary just a bit creepy and spooky.

[Crystal M]

It’s hard to build tension and terror in seven pages. Good for 4th-6th grade

[Angie Titus]

Out of the three or four I've read in this series, this is my favorite so far.
