The Princess in Black books are smashingly spectacular

Reading is Our Thing

I am a big fan of books that take children to “scary places” in a fun way, and this is definitely one of those.

Striking Keys

Preschoolers will revel in the spooky (but much more amusing) shenanigans of sabotage in I Want to Be in a Scary Story – just in time for Halloween.
