The author of wildly popular ghost stories, Mary Downing Hahn has created a group of tales for fans of her "scary but not too scary" books. In this collection of spooky stories, even tales without actual ghosts are designed to chill. Each one turns something ordinary—a pigeon, a white dress, a stranger on the bus, a puppet—into a sinister link to the supernatural. For the human characters, secrets from the past or careless behavior in the present can lead to serious trouble. All the stories have a young person as the central character, so all will resonate with young readers who enjoy eerie and creepy middle grade horror. In a concluding note, the author talks about how she came to write ghost stories.
