Double-Dare to Be Scared: Another Thirteen Chilling Tales

170 pp. | Cricket | May, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-8126-2716-4 $$15.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by David Ouimet. A bullied boy exacts revenge on his tormentors after his death; a group of friends visit a haunted house; a girl stays out past her curfew--with catastrophic results. Illustrated with atmospheric art, these eerie tales are individually effective, but there's a sameness to the conclusions (most end with the protagonist dead or about to be killed) that makes the volume seem repetitive.
