Readers will meet thirteen ghosts, werewolves, skeletons, and other creepy characters in this spine-tingling collection of scary stories. In these tales no place is safe--a ghost could appear in a crowded swimming pool, a sunny beach, or right in your own backyard! Prepare to meet spirits from all over the world-- the enchanted bagpipes that long to be returned to their original owner, the haunted castle filled with angry ghosts, a ghost dog who comes back to life to save her pups, and more!

This review is from: 13 Scary Ghost Stories (Paperback)

This book has an easy reading level, probably was written for middle or high school studends. However, the book contains wonderful classic tales from different ethnic backgrounds and will be a fun (although short) book to enjoy. I would reccommend this book, but it can be read in just one day.
