A collection of short, eerie stories set in Australia and featuring brave, bold, daring kids. Each story is written in short chapters, good for new readers or readers with short attentions, but don't let the shortness of each story fool you, they are written simply and richly, so that they draw the reader in. A joining factor of all of these dissimilar stories is the twist endings. Ideal for a spooky halloween read.
Quirky tales for Paul Jennings. These books got me through a few of my awkward years I tell you. Even kids in these stories is the underdog or the want you want to cheer for. There is often twists and turns in every story and he also has a way with coming up with a killer ending. For 7 to 13 year olds.
