So Brian Jacques wrote the Redwall series which are great and like The Wind in the Willows the characters are animals and talk and act like people. Anyway, I have read a few of those and like them a lot but it being close to Halloween I wanted to read spooky stuff and although these are for kids they are spooky too. I think I will read some more Redwall too. Recommend to kids 9 - 12 or big kids like me who never grew up and never intend to !!!

I listened to the audiobook that was read by Brian Jacques.

Each of these stories are middle school age scary stories-- meaning they're meant to entertain, not terrify, so the ghosts and monsters are used more comically than anything else.

That being said, it was an enjoyable thing to listen to. Jacques' voices and accents helped to bring everything to life.

This was very cute, I'm sure to a kid these stories would be a little spooky. This is exactly the kind of book I would have loved when I was younger. I was so into the Goosebumps series, and this would have been a perfect fit for me. I read it just now, because I also grew up reading Jacques' Redwall series and never knew he wrote anything other than Redwall. I was intrigued and definitely not disappointed-- it would've been even more enjoyable if I were 8 again.

While this was not my favorite book ever I liked how the book was set up. Each short story went nicely next to the next and previous story, this helped the book flow.

I love Brian Jacques stories and this was so much fun. Not too scary and perfect for October.

From the author of the Redwall books comes this strange book. Strange & TERRIFYING bwahahaha.

OK. this book should only be read by older middle school & up. Only if horror is their thing. The first story alone should be enough to give a sensitive child nightmares for years.
Some of the others, not so much. We have a vandal, thief, an abusive uncle, & 3 bullies get their just desserts. The rest are just kind of goofy.

Scary fun! These are all amazingly, scary, but end well. His characters are so interesting and different. The stories are just long enough to enjoy and not get tiring. Perfect, scary, short stories.

I love this book XD

It was a good little set of stories. Had the element of spooky with life lessons and no lastingly scary bits. Great for kids I am sure.

Takový malý návrat do dětských let ;) když jsem ji poprvé uviděla v knihovně, musela jsem si ji přečíst a pak znova a znova. Když jsem ji viděla před měsícem v Levných knihách, musela jsem ji mít
