This review is from: Tale of the Sinister Statues (Are You Afraid of the Dark) (Paperback)

I read this book years ago when I was in grade school,and while I don't remember a whole lot about it,I do remember that I enjoyed it.At the time,I was looking for a book that would scare me,but not enough to keep me up at night,and this book was perfect for that.I recommend it to kids that like creepy books,but scare too easily to read most of them.:)
