Reviews

  • Easy to read but definitely not easy to forget.

    “Brallier effectively repeats the screamworthy formula established in Beneath the Bed and Other Scary Stories (2019) to add a sense of familiarity to the foreboding… The abrupt, disquieting endings mix the creepy and weird with the genuinely terrifying, creating a nice balance as readers jump bravely between stories… Easy to read but definitely not easy to forget.”
    –Kirkus Reviews

  • My 8yo son loves this book series!

    “Spooky, creepy, fun!” is how my 2nd grade son describes this book. Just like the other books on this series, it is written as a compilation of short stories that functionally read like a chapter book to a young reader. Some of the stories have a slightly “scary” twist, and at least one is just a funny and kookey ending. The tone is exactly like the other stories in the other books of this series.

    My son is a lover of Dog Man, Eerie Elementary, and Nate the Great, and devoured this book in one sitting. My other child would not have been a fan of this book because she is more sensitive to mystery and campfire scary stories, but my son loves this genre.

  • Instant hit with students

    If the publishers are listening – we need so so many more books just like this. I have a following of young readers coming to me for more scary books. If your little reader likes scary books, this series is excellent. They are legit spooky, but I’ve got 1st-4th graders clamoring to read this little series. There is clearly not enough publishing focus on this genre for younger readers and I’m hoping this will help get more easy scary stories. I’ve replaced books in this series multiple times because they are so frequently read and reread. My only complaint is about the construction of the actual book because they aren’t sturdy enough for all that rereading.

  • Great for Read Aloud

    My Students love these books and will even grab them and read on their own. Definitely ordering more out of my own pockets lol.

  •  Great for young readers who like scary books

    I bought this for my 8yo daughter. She loved the 1st one, which I got her when she was 7. The stories are spooky, but not overly scary for my daughter. She is able to read these on her own and loves to read them to me in her “spooky” voice. 🙂 The Mister Shivers books are among her absolute favorite books. I just bought her the 3rd one this morning.

  • One of the best books for 7-8 year olds

    If you want your kid to love reading try this book series! My daughter love to read the stories, thanks to them she is called a book worm by her teacher. Improved reading skills and so much fun!
