About this listen

From 4-time Mom's Choice Award winner Steve Burt and veteran middle-school teacher Jolyn Joslin comes this exciting book for kids that's also a fabulous tool for parents, grandparents, and teachers: 13 ghost stories and weird tales to help kids read, learn, and write their own stuff. These are the thought-provoking stories young readers love. A boy approaches an old woman tending a grave garden. On a dare a brother and sister enter a bone yard on Halloween to free a sea captain's earthbound spirit. A pup returns to life after 50 years in a tomb. Four school kids battle a giant worm that crosses from its tunnel into theirs. Two girls discover a puppet shop run by a puppet. A drowned corpse pursues six summer campers who have taken the war canoe out for a late-night ride. Each story has discussion questions followed by a writing prompt to help turn readers into writers. Works well with adult supervision or with self-directed students. And the stories are perfect for teachers to use as 15-minute activities at the end of the day.
