If your students like Alvin Schwartz's "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark" series, then they will like this book/series.
The only story that I would be concerned about in this book is "The Halloween Spirit". In the story, a Keesha and her sister, onelle are out trick-or-treating. They decide to meet up with some of Keesha's friends in the park on Halloween. Keesha notices that her older friends have "beer, cigarettes, and stuff", but Keesha is too smart t...more

The scare factor was very light because it's for a young audience, but I found the stories nicely creepy and refreshingly multicultural.
In a way it was kind of a warning to modern, sophisticated kids. "You think you know everything, with your cell phones and computers, there might be stuff out there that you can't explain away. There might be consequences you can't cajole your way out of."

San Souci wrote a few good stories, and packed them in this book, which I read quickly because the stories were so interesting. My favorite stroy in the book was Playland, and I can't tall you why, but something about the story is just so unnerving, and creative. I suggest to children 10-12 read, because it isn't really made for older kids or adults, but I mean it's still a great read.
I really liked this book! Dare to be Scared: Thirteen stories to chill and thrill has you hooked on the first story, if you like books that are little bit scary.
I recommend "The Caller" that was my favorite story in this book.

This book was good because it had alot of diffrent stories in it. Some of theess stories were scarey but I was suppose to be asleep when I read this. I haven't choosen the best story yet. I might have to read it again,but if you like scarey stories then read this at night. It sends shocks down your spine. And it gets you thinking of whats gonig to happen next. The only problem was that it makes you feel like it should stay on one story other than just skipping around.

Its like a hunted house to them. Everey time they went to sleep they would hear somthing. Like oooo...
This book so far is about thirteen stories that are verey scary but I didn't read them all yet.My favorite story so far is the one when a boy went to the movies with his friends.But he didn't tell his mom what movie he was watching.Well he did,but he didn't tell her the right one.It was an ant movie but a violent one.He told her it was the disney movie called The Ant Bully.The movie that he went to watch with his friends was really to scary for him but he didn't know it yet.
Right now it is really lame..... I dont get the ends of the stories, like do the people die or what?? As of right now I am just reading it to finsh it and get it over with.
