I was a bit unsure of just how scary this book would be. So I read it in bed....at night....alone...and ended up having nightmares. Then I read it aloud to the kids the next day....in the daylight....while they were busy playing with their toys. Yep, they were completely fine.
When big brother Malik and his little sister Tiana run out of things to do during the long hot days of summer, the decision of digging up a half buried box next to an old, abandoned mansion just seemed logical at the time.
"That's just a stupid old doll someone buried in the ground."
At that moment, a darkness fell over them.
The clouds burst open and poured down buckets of rain. The three children were soaked to the bone by the time they got home.
Well turn on all the lights, grab your favorite blankie and your favorite snack (and perhaps all of your family members) and get ready to get scared!!!

Kelly
