Creepy Ghost Kids

Caroline Overington's stunning fiction debut is a multi-voiced novel centred around a child's death and its terrible repercussions. In 1982 Victorian police were called to a home on a housing estate an hour west of Melbourne. There, they found a five-year-old boy lying still and silent on the carpet. There were no obvious signs of trauma, but the child, Jacob, died the next day. The story made the headlines, and hundreds attended the funeral. Few people were surprised when the boy's mother and her boyfriend went to prison for the crime.

What if bedtime wasn’t just for dreams… but for stories that follow you into them? Inside this book are thirteen eerie, unforgettable tales that blend mystery, suspense, and just the right amount of shivers for curious young listeners. Each story starts in the ordinary — a new video game, a classroom, a neighborhood, a camp cabin, a school bus — and slowly turns strange in the best, most goosebump-raising way.

Give your kids a fright! Haunted houses, prowling monsters, vengeful ghosts, and more are waiting for you. Inside you’ll find 35 original short scary stories for kids, including a room where everything is wrong and you can never leave, a forest guide who leads people on a walk they won’t forget, a monster dining in a graveyard, a ghost ship that hunts down treasure seekers, and a statue that comes to life—for a price. And many more! Just make sure you listen to these stories with the lights on.
