Are You Sure - One Chilly Night Book 3

Something’s Not Right…

Sophia thought babysitting Liam and Max would be easy. Pizza, cartoons, bedtime—simple, right?

But then… she starts getting strange text messages.

They say they’re from the boys’ mom. But something feels off.

Now the house feels too quiet.

Too dark.

And Sophia isn’t so sure the boys are safe anymore…

A spooky story made just for new readers who love a good scare! With short sentences, simple words, and lots of suspense, this high-interest/low-level chapter book is perfect for kids who are ready for thrills but still building their reading confidence.

This story and others in the series are based on the old tales told around campfires for generations updated for a new generation. Written under the name Shalon DeDiablo as a way to say thank you to my little sister who would sit on the front porch steps late at night asking for just one more scary story.  

The idea behind this story started when I was working in an elementary school library. There were students who absolutely wanted to read Goosebumps and other scary chapter books but the teachers wanted them to read at their reading level which was more Biscuit or Dr. Suess. So I wrote these books with them in mind.

The fun part is English learners in other countries have actually taken up reading them. I understand why. When the choice is a scary story or a dog finding his tail.....Well, I would pick the scary story too.
