I don't have a scary section in the library because kids will check out the books to show off and not read. I try not to police their choices too much. But I needed a better spine label. I ended up using Word+Clipart+ayellowhilighter to get this result. And now my to do pile is even bigger. So much labeling!
Again, I won't read anything scary, so here's my spooky contribution for the season.

This one didn‘t quite do it for me, but in comparison to the others I‘ve listened too - this was toned down😂
Spooky dolls + Hansel & Gretel🍭🧸
pickI don‘t understand why this book has such a low rating on Litsy. It‘s definitely MG, but that was obvious going in. It‘s kinda cute, eerie, and good fun. It sorta reminded me of an episode of “Are You Afraid of The Dark?”, so a lot of fun ,nostalgic Halloween feels.
so-soCreepy little MG book about Josie and her family who moved in with her grandmother. It appears that she's got some issues with reality after she gives the girls strange rules about the woods and dolls because Beryl is watching. Josie befriends perfect Vanessa at school but things aren't always what they seem and Grandma isn't so crazy! Dolls are inherently scary so there's a few really weird images but overall a mediocre story that wrapped up fast
so-soThis book is about a girl who moves in with her grandmother, herself and her sister must follow three strange rules.
She trys hard to connect with people at her new school, but it doesn't go as planned, her new friend seems pretty sketchy. If you like books that keep you on your toes with thrill and horror this is for you.
so-soThis was a creepy middle-grade horror novel from Scholastic. Overall, I liked it, but the ending felt a little rushed for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickA lot of parts of this book reminded me of works by Mary Downing Hahn and Betty Ren Wright. The story was gripping, especially once the real action gets started. While I wasn‘t sure how creepy or scary it would be, I was satisfied by its unnerving factor. The last chapter felt like those last scenes in old horror movies, like Friday the 13th or Carrie. I wasn‘t overly happy with the final chapter, but I imagine that many people would like it.

After I showed the promo video for this book, I thought I‘d have nightmares. I think most of my older students were the most enthusiastic about this book. So many of them asked me if I was going to purchase it for the library. I think readers who liked Took might also like this one. I‘m definitely going to give it a read.
