Category: Ghost

Not every ghost in this collection wants to frighten someone. Boo and Kazuo are lonely spirits looking for friends, while Hikaru’s story asks older children to face a vengeful presence and the secrets of an old mansion. Ghostly pirates also guard a cursed treasure in Liam’s long sea adventure. The category ranges from mild Halloween comfort to suspenseful chapter-length fantasy, so families can choose the right level of spookiness.

Liam and the Magical Spyglass

A map in a bottle leads Liam to a magical spyglass and a sunken pirate treasure. In this long pirate story for older children, taking the treasure home brings a curse to his village. Liam must face ghostly pirates and the sea king to put things right. The story includes frightening creatures and battles.
