This is an excellent collection of scary stories aimed at the 11-13 age group - campouts, sleep overs and the like. There is a nice variety of natural and supernatural ... pure evil, revenge, just rewards, trees, ships, blobs, cemetaries. Enough variety that you can select a story that is just scarey enough - but not too scary. Only a couple of the tales fall at bit flat. All in all I recommend it.

This wonderfully creepy collection of 25 terrible tales both delights with suspense and intrigues with mystery. Roberta Simpson Brown brings the paranormal into a folksy form using her time-tested skills as a master storyteller. Her style of spinning stories takes the reader straight into the action, and the spooky pen and ink illustrations provide an appropriate complement to the weird plot twists. I enjoyed reading Walking Trees and Other Scary Stories and I look forward to Roberta's next amazing book!

Explore the world of fear and excitement with master story teller Roberta Simpson Brown. If your school is unfortunate enough not to be able to book her for a session "Walking Trees: and Other Scary Stories" is a special volume to share with children 8 to whatever for a great shiver. Children of all ages love to be read to. Who knows what maybe lerking beyond the edge of darkness?
