HIT: Scary stories

[Anne Knickerbocker <aknicker@tenet.edu>]

Hi all,

Last week I asked for suggestions as to what books to steer my second
and third graders to when they ask for "very scary books."  It sounds
like lots of you get the same request.  Thanks to all who shared their
ideas:

Goosebumps
The Scary Book / Schwartz
The Oxford Book of Scary Stories
Short and Shivery series
Clockwork / Philip Pullmans
Night in the Barn / Gibbons
A Promise is a Promise / Munsch
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series / Schwartz
Christina's Ghost / Betty Ren Wright
The Boxcar Children series
Ghost / Schwartz
In a Dark, Dark Room / Schwartz
Tailypo
The Great White Man Eating Shark / Margaret Mahy
Rapunzel
Herschel and the Hannakuh Goblins
Books from the animal section (wild animals)
Halloween books
Fairy tales, especially the one about the cat who goes up the chimney
