Reviews

[Guilherme Portella]

Chap. 14
I think the story is interesting, because the ambientation of horror that they put the protagonists on is interresting because of the paranormal activities and the criativity of the writer that wrote the book is envious. I love your books Joel A. Sutherland

Chap. 18
I liked the idea of having some creepy thing\object hidden on somewhere on a house and the characters have to search it and they get so scared that they changed home and this shows that the writter knows how and where to put the right characters with the right mood in the right spots.

[Robert · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun and just a little scary. Just right for younger readers, but still good for people who want to read some tales of supernatural goings-on through Canadian History.
A few printing/editorial errors, with fragments of unrelated paragraphs inserted in the middle of stories, but none bad enough to really ruin the book.

[Noelle Walsh · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a fun and spooky book to read! Anyone who doesn't mind reading ghost stories targeted toward the Scholastic book fair crowd would thoroughly like this. Easy to understand and just the right amount of spooky to be enjoyable!

This book had no reviews which is maybe why it was so hard to find on Goodreads.
I did enjoy reading about Canada and how it is haunted and some of the different stories that are in the book, they really are quite good and just an overall great read. I might go out and get more of these book.

[Jake Cortes · Rating 3 out of 5]

A medida que avanzaban la serie de cortas leyendas en esta colección, las historias se tornaban mas densas y creíbles. Serviría fácilmente para empezar a redactar un guión de alguna película que trate la actividad paranormal. En resumen, entretenida lectura.
