This review is from: The Midnight Ship (Creepies) (Hardcover)

"The Midnight Ship" is the sixth title in a successful series titled "Creepies" that appeals to children ages 5-8. Two sisters like to pretend their bunk beds are a ship in a dangerous, serpent-infested sea as they are (supposedly) drifting off to sleep in the dark. Although the younger sister does not always get to do the most fun things in their make believe boat in the sea, she manages to come out even or ahead in the end. The dark-tinged pastel illustrations lend exactly the right hint of fearsome mystery clothing the familiar in this imaginative little spooky thriller. Kids will love it and reluctant readers will be enticed to read more "Creepies."
