Gr 4 Up—Set in famous haunted locations, these adventures offer multiple endings and scenarios to encourage rereading and problem-solving. In each title, readers are placed at the helm of the story as they navigate a variety of paths that all stem from a general plot. A concluding chapter provides related historical information and eyewitness accounts. Narratives are fast paced and filled with plenty of hair-raising moments, though the premises are often familiar (e.g., a family vacation gone awry). Photographs chosen add to the suspense, leaving readers to use their imagination to fill in the spectral gaps.
VERDICT More ghostly than gory. Devotees of this format will enjoy being safely scared.
