Description

Best-selling author Mary Downing Hahn delivers a collection of thrilling and chilling tales in her book, each featuring spooky elements that turn ordinary objects into sinister links to the supernatural. The stories include a malicious hand puppet that becomes part of the body, a school designed to prepare students for death, and a boy who lends his baseball glove even after his death. Young characters in these tales face consequences from their past actions or present behavior. An afterword shares Hahn's sources of inspiration and provides writing tips for young authors.
