Description

Gr 4–7—Middle schoolers Willa, Tim, Noah, and Steve bond over their

love of horror and form The Fearsome Foursome, their storytelling club.

They meet weekly to share tales of ghosts and ghouls. One day, their

headquarters gets demolished in a freakish storm. In the wreckage, the

quartet find four fancy invitations to an address on the other side of

town. Intrigued, they find it's a Gothic mansion, which seems deserted

except for the librarian, who is the keeper of all scary stories. It

turns out the librarian has a story to read about each of them, and he

insists they will be dying to find out how these tales end. This is the

first in a new series based on the Disney theme park ride the Haunted

Mansion. The selections are gruesome—some include rotting

corpses—but are not too frightening for most middle grade readers.

VERDICT An excellent addition for freshening up scary stories

collections; hand this to fans who have graduated from 'Goosebumps' or

are looking for a new scare.—Beth Cuddy, Seward Elementary School,

School, NYMiddle-graders Willa, Tim, Noah, and Steve, the titular Fearsome

Foursome, share a love of scary stories, so when they receive a

mysterious invitation to meet in a haunted mansion on the other side of

town, there's no doubt that the friends will be going. The house is a

little unnerving, sure, with ravens cawing overhead, a gothic fa ade,

even a pet cemetery to complete the picture, but the kids shrug off the

obvious and most likely manufactured forbidding atmosphere; inside,


they're mostly skeptical and only slightly frightened when they meet the

house's skeletal-like librarian. After betting him that he can't

possibly come up with a story that actually scares the group, they grow

increasingly terrified as he tells the story of each kid's demise. But

of course, it's all fun and games, right? Right? The librarian acts as

the book's cheeky (and creepy) narrator, inserting humorous asides that

poke fun at typical horror-story tropes. These get old pretty quickly,

but the stories themselves are scary on an R. L. Stine level, with just

the right number of chills and the right amount of gore, and the

episodic nature of the tales makes the book accessible as well as

appealing. This is right up the alley of reluctant readers who like a

good thrill but not a hefty page count, and it's certainly fodder for

campfire storytelling.―Bulletin of the Center for Children?s Books, KQG See all
