A favorite book as a kid
I liked this book growing up. Last time I read it I was about 14, that’s about 45 years ago. I’ve been looking for it for many years. Bought it to introduce it to my kids. The book is used and the outside edges look worn but the pages are good. I thought I was getting a new. It has nine short stories and there are also some drawings that go along with each story My favorite story is Jimmy takes vanishing lessons. The stories are easy to read probably at a fourth grade level.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book when I was 9, so I bought it for my 9 yr old granddaughter

I wasn't sure this would arrive for Christmas but it did!! My friend Eddie let me borrow this book when we both were nine. I loved it so much that when my nine year old granddaughter asked for a book of ghost stories for Christmas, I knew exactly what I was looking for! And I was so lucky that it arrived on time, before Christmas!! All I can do is hope that she enjoys the short stories as much as I did!! Much thanks to the seller for getting it here on time and making my Christmas Spooky but Wonderful!!!

They don't make enough scary kids books like this anymore. Its a collection of good freaky stories that younger readers can enjoy. I got this one for my daughter who loves scary stories, but is tired of goosebumps. I had this when i was a kid and was happy to receive it in such great condition!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of Halloween scary stories for kids
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2011
Verified Purchase
These Halloween scary short stories are perfect for young kids and older ones, too. I read these as a kid many years ago and enjoyed the chance to re-read them again. "Jimmy Takes Vanishing Lessons" is a classic, well-written with a good sense of humor, "The Water Ghost of Harrowby Hall" brings back many chills and good memories as well.
These are great ghost stories which will never go out of style, share them in the living room or around the campfire.

5.0 out of 5 stars I had fun reading it again
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2014

I remember reading this book when I was in elementary school. I had fun reading it again. It brought me right back. These stories are interesting, suspenseful, not gory and more like chilling mysteries. I'm sure the young members of my family will enjoy this book.

The seller for this book, JwonGemologist, described the book correctly, was fairly priced and shipped it in a timely manner. I would do business with this seller again.
