Haunting Urban Legends (Scared!)

Haunting Urban Legends (Scared!)

Urban legends are strange and often scary stories told from person to person. They are often used as examples of what not to do. Read about the killer in the backseat, the creepy statue, and the poisoned sweater. Then share them with your friends if you dare. Kids won't be able to resist these exciting collections of ghostly tales-even if they do have to sleep with the lights on. . . .The color palette is appropriately dark and the font choice is reminiscent of typewriter text. . . .worthwhile additions that will deliver on both the joy of reading and the fright factor.-- "School Library Journal" Megan Cooley Peterson is a children's book author and editor. Her book How To Build Hair-Raising Haunted Houses (Capstone Press, 2011) was selected as a Book of Note by the TriState Young Adult Review Committee. Megan's love of animals began at an early age. Her childhood home was filled with animals, including two cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, a salamander, and four dogs: Sheba, a German Shepherd, King, a Collie, Gus, a Golden Retriever, and Annie, a Mutt. She has also been fortunate enough to visit some reptiles at behind-the-scenes tours at the Downtown Denver Aquarium in Denver, Colorado.
