Leveled Readers (level 2)
A competition for who can tell the scariest night-time story takes place between two cousins during a summer night outdoor sleepover. As the night gets darker the stories get scarier--how could anyone fall asleep? Simple prose verging on the poetic works well with illustrations that coax the imagination into seeing things that lurk between the shadow and the light. While the format is set up to work as a level reader, some of the vocabulary might be too advanced, however with help, this book is a real find for children bored by the conventional or the saccharine. Ages 5-8. ****
