This spooky, easy-to-read story will give young readers chills—in the best way.

A ghost story written for beginning readers who love a little scare with their stories. Simple words. Short sentences. Big suspense.

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.

Available in Hardcover, Paperback, and eBook
