5.0 out of 5 stars NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! Side-splittin', gut-bustin' fun!, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This book is chock-full of all your favorite gruesome (and hilarious) urban-legends -- they're all here: Mikey and the pop rocks, the baby-in-the-oven, and of course, the chicken-fried-rat -- I get spine-tinglin' shivers just thinkin' about them! It's the perfect page-turner and great for slumber parties, camp fires and weenie-roasts (just be sure to check the meat!)...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for middle-graders, February 11, 2000

By	KarKr@roadrunner.com (Arizona) - See all my reviews

My students loved this book, and the two others in this series. We did a unit on folklore, and these "modern" legends really brought the topic to life for them. Thanks to the publisher for bringing these out.
