About the author

I've counted books among my friends for as long as I can remember. I was born in Santa Monica, California, though that beautiful city is just one of many places I've called home; my family moved ten times before I graduated from high school. Moving so frequently gave me many opportunities to experience new places, meet new people, and make new friends . . . but it could be lonely, too, especially while I adjusted to a new town or school. When I felt homesick for people and places far away, I knew that I could always turn to my books, familiar friends who traveled everywhere I did. Reading so much inspired me to write my own stories and poems, on topics ranging from birds and snowflakes to castles and talking pasta (really!).

Looking back, all that reading and writing was the perfect preparation for my dream job: writing for children and young adults. I moved to New York City for college and after graduating from New York University with a degree in Dramatic Literature, I worked as a children's book editor for five years. Another move—this time with my husband—led me to close my eyes, hold my breath, and take the leap to become a full-time writer. It was the best decision I ever could've made.

I've lived in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for five years (that's almost a record for me) with my family, and I thank my lucky stars every day for the good fortune to write for kids and teens.

When I'm not writing, I'm . . .
Knitting obsessively, just like my grandmother did (if there's a knitting gene, I got it from her)
Drinking another pot of tea
Doodling on a 3 x 5 index card
Attempting to decipher the cryptic Post-It notes stuck to my desk
Reading voraciously, especially nonfiction or current events
Cooking vegetarian food (or, more likely, making dessert)
Trying to save my garden from a fearless band of marauding squirrels
Cuddling with my cat and wrestling with my dog
Covering my kids with kisses

These were the perfect scary stories for young kids. Most of them started out a little scary and then were usually resolved near the end. They're stories built off of familiar Disney movies so that was fun. My kids loved them. I liked how the vocabulary was rich to help my children learn new words.

Roztomilá knížka, s klasickými a nádhernými Disney ilustracemi. Doufám, že jednou jí budu číst svým dětem.

I only read 4 of the stories from here (Inside Out, Finding Nemo, Mickey, and Alice in Wonderland) but they were all enjoyable way reads. Not too scary for kids.

Spooky is, obviously, an exaggeration here. Many of the stories simply take place at night or have some character that steps into the mysterious role of a given story being told. The art is the same quality as the other books, and the stories are very readable. As they span quite a few Disney stories, some were not favorites to my son and we never read them, but the others we did, we re-read multiple times.

I loved this story collection! I am a huge Disney freak so when I saw there was a Halloween collection I needed to read it. I loved how many stories was in it. I loved that it was a big span of different movies. I just loved all of them and this is a great bedtime book for kids!

This book was ok. I enjoyed most of the stories inside but most weren’t the greatest. There were a few I really liked but overall I didn’t think this was as good as other Disney storybook collections.
