Only four only because although Frost Giants was good, Coraline is legendary and The Graveyard Book made me cry. I had read Fortunately, The Milk before and it was also on the four star level.

I saw a post somewhere about the graveyard book and wanted tot give it a try. Coralie and Odd were also really nice to read. Also, fortunate, the milk is amazing and everyone should read it.

Some nice stories- most of them spooky, but fun.
I only got this for Coraline and was surprised how much I liked the other stories.

Graveyard book is the best one

I gave this 4 stars because of The Graveyard Book. I loved the story and the characters. There were times with it being a short story that I thought it was going to end and then was happy that it continued. The other stories were ok, but not very memorable.
