[Karissa Talks Books · Rating 4 out of 5]

These are interesting ghost stories, some of them heartwarming, some scary, and some bittersweet. They are written well and the interesting part of this book comes from the author’s desire to have them read aloud.

This was actually way better than I was expecting it to be. Definitely recommended (especially for this fall season!).

One of our favorite books to read around this time of year when the kids were growing up. We checked it out of the library so often that I finally bought a copy. It is time to reread some of my favorites again!
