Annie's birthday is on Halloween. She tests her nerve and courage by going to a creepy, haunted? house, on a dare, on Halloween night. On the book cover, Annie peers around a door. Her eyes are wide. Her face registers apprehension and fear but she IS moving forward, shining her flashlight into the eyes of the reader, dazzling us with the light and her bravery. Krosoczka's artistic technique, composition, color palette evoke the eeriness of the night and solitude of the child in the book's pa

This is a fun story about a brave little girl on an adventure to explore a spooky mansion. The narrative is sparse, but entertaining and the illustrations are great. It's a suspenseful story with a surprise ending and we enjoyed reading it together.

Annie was warned about the haunted mansion, but she's not afraid. But should she be?
I can't wait to turn out the lights and read this to kids at Halloween! Scary fun!

It's a kids book, sure, but the whole concept of Annie leaving the house at night to go visit a haunted mansion (after her parents warned her not to) turned me off.

Cute simple Halloween story about a young girl named Annie that was born on Halloween and isn't scared of anything. Good stuff.

Good Halloween story. It has some of the scary elements but not overly so. It has things that could feel creepy. And the pictures even go at different views and angles to try to give the story a mysterious, spooky feel. Still, for a much younger audience.
10/26/10 & 10/28/10 This went well in both preschool storytimes. I had a fairly small turn out for both (considering previous weeks). But they liked it, and they loved the ending. It really did surprise some of the children.

Miles saw another kid's review of this book and had to check it out. Annie wants to visit the neighborhood haunter house, despite her parents' and friends' warnings not too (hmm, not a great example). It is suspenseful and a little creepy, but not overly so. Great for those who like the idea of a scary book more than a really scary book!

Despite her friends' warnings, Annie is determined to enter the haunted house. What she finds waiting for her there is a surprise, indeed.
This is perfect for kids who think they want scary stories but aren't really ready to handle them.
