SCREAMING IN THE SPOOKY SEASON And Other Tales of Mild Terror & Major Mishaps (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798269601809)

This Halloween, the scariest thing is how hilarious the hauntings can be...

Welcome to a world where the spooks are more silly than spine-chilling, and the biggest terror is a ruined turnip patch. This side-splitting collection of eight linked stories is perfect for young teens who love a giggle with their ghosts.

When Liam boards the last night bus home, he discovers the other passengers haven't aged well. Like, at all. Meanwhile, on Dartmoor, a farmer named Baz is less concerned with an ancient warrior spirit's curse and more about the mess it's making of his prize vegetables. Chaos continues as Chloe finds herself held hostage by a sentient-and very demanding-duvet, and Leo's attempt to go viral summons a poltergeist with a passion for interior design and a deep hatred for messy Lego.

From a Guy Fawkes effigy with a serious complaint about being on fire, to a chip shop whose secret ingredient is a little too supernatural, these tales are packed with off-the-wall humour and very British hauntings.

Inside this hilarious collection, you'll find:

Eight brilliantly funny stories perfect for reading aloud or devouring in one sitting.

A cast of unforgettable characters, from a confidence-lacking ghost support group to marauding, misunderstood pumpkins.

Relatable, modern scenarios mixed with classic spooky folklore.

Glossaries with each chapter to help build vocabulary in a fun, natural way.

Ideal for fans of reading, humour, and slightly pathetic supernatural phenomena, Screaming in the Spooky Season is the perfect book for young readers who prefer their chills with a heavy dose of laughs.
