13 short stories of weirdness and woe are non-gory tales, on the lighter side of scary. There are many types of stores from strange spots on the floor to monsters who erase memories. Stories are only a few pages long making them great for reading aloud or reluctant readers. My favorite story was "Nine Lives" where Miranda learns the consequence of abanding the family cat.

This book reminded me of a new version of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. ( )
