(3) 4-6 Wallace retells three urban legends, setting them all in the same New Hampshire town. The first is a contemporary ghost story about a bullying victim; the second features drowned horses that haunt a community; the third involves five farm children who died young but who may not have left the earthly plane. Accessible and mildly creepy, the tales are varied and engaging.
