All the Lovely Bad Ones by Mary Downing HahnReading level: grades 4 and up
If you like spooky stories, you'll love All the Lovely Bad Ones! Travis and his sister Corey are spending the summer with their Grandmother in her inn in Vermont. The rumors say it's haunted, but Grandmother doesn't believe it. Travis and Corey decide to pretend they are the ghosts... until the real ghosts awake!
Mary Downing Hahn writes wonderfully chilling ghost stories, and this is no exception. Young readers who spook easily should avoid reading this alone at night, but those who enjoy a bit of a thrill will love the heart-pounding suspense. Travis and Corey are believable mischief makers who readers can connect with throughout their stay at the inn. The remote country setting provides a feeling of isolation, adding to the suspense. Enjoy at your own risk!
