Scary Stories to Drive You Batty is a middle grade book featuring three creepy stories for kids. The tales are short and age appropriate.
The Mystery of Joe Duffy - A dead baseball player haunts a diamond at the baseball camp. It will be a summer Stephanie and Jordan never forget!
The Mummy - Richard and Jordan like to play mean pranks on their little sister. When they discover a mummy in the attic, the joke is on them!
Truth or Scare - The new kid in the neighborhood shows up to help initiate members into the Oak Street kids club. His game -- Truth or Scare -- is definitely frightening!
The tales are spooky and cute. All content is age appropriate. The front cover art is awesome! You can't go batty without some bats to keep you company!. Each story is about 14 pages long, perfect length even for reluctant or slower readers. I could definitely see using these stories as a lead-in to a creative writing assignment. Have the kids read the stories to themselves or out loud to each other.....then they write their own scary story!
