Not really very scary, Brady

[Michelle Wiles · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good storyline and would suit people who prefer a short read.

[Susan Farr · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book got my son reading. Simple language for late bloomer readers, with an older storyline.

[Me Christine Crawley · Rating 5 out of 5]

A short read that is accessible for children who find reading a bit of challenge, or maybe they are a reluctant reader. Also great for young readers who like to be a little scared.
Edgar and Mary have vague memories of the house Mr Blood has left them in. Intrigue mounts as the truth reveals itself in this creepy tale.

[Nikki in Niagara · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is an easy chapter book, what I call a high-low reader. It's a horror story featuring a scary old woman, spiders and a demon. Much more scary than a Goosebumps book but shorter and easier to read. Not for little children though the reading level would seem to make it so. A decent story for what it is, obviously with this limited a vocabulary the story can't be very detailed, but it is a creepy little tale which is quite rare at this reading level. Best suited for mature children or reluctant teen readers.

This book was more terrifying than the first, but then I have a bit of a spider phobia anyway. I'm giving it so many stars because it is the kind of book reluctant readers will have a very hard time putting down. Both of the books in the series that I read were very scary so I would recommend them to readers who enjoy horror.
In this book, the two children travel with Mr Blood to an empty house that is inhabited by an evil spider woman.
