Tales of Ghosts and Hauntings
Susan Martineau, illustrated by Vicky Barker
At a glance
This is a collection of ghostly stories well presented in an easily read font, packed with detail and information. The chapters are peppered with useful word definitions and explanations. The “Let’s Investigate” pages are good as they summarise the evidence and the “Eye Witnesses” section collates ideas or further questions.
This will whet the appetites of readers who are interested in the paranormal. It will suit children who have an inquisitive mind as it encourages them to explore or expand their deductive thinking. The format lends itself to great discussions between teachers and peers.
