You'll feel like your nose has been super glued to the book, because you won't want to put it down. Everyone knows what it's like to get angry like the main character, Chloe. What you'll really enjoy is how she overcomes her fits of anger during a vacation to merry old haunted England. Who wouldn't like to get a little help from ghosts who have been wandering the Tower of London for centuries? Surely they've learned something they can pass on to us mortals!

Young readers will not put this book down until the end. It's a wonderful adventure story through the character of Chloe Pippin, who's anger gets her in trouble...even in England at the Tower of London. This book is great fun for young readers who enjoy scary stories plus it teaches the reader how to handle anger.

Adventure, history and the living language and culture of England make "Dark Tales of the Tower" by Donna Munch the perfect read for pre-teens. Munch weaves a delightful contemporary tale with just enough scary content to keep kids turning the pages, enough history, culture and language to please teachers, and even a moral to please parents. This is the kind of book that would be a great catalyst for encouraging classroom discussion...a fun way to learn history and language. For kids, it's the next best thing to actually being in England!
