It’s almost Halloween, which makes now a perfect time to get some scary reading done. Here are five books to get you started.
Amber House by Kelly Moore
After her grandmother dies, sixteen year old Sarah Parsons goes to hunt for lost diamonds in a house her family owned for 300 years. Joining her are Jackson, her friend, and Richard, whose family has history with hers. Can we say love triangle? She then gets visions of what went on inside the house in the past. But then, her visions turn out to be not so innocent and she has to uncover the secrets of the house.
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
This book is worth reading just for the creepy pictures scattered among the pages. Sixteen year old Jacob goes to the orphanage his grandfather grew up in after he dies. Thing is, these kids were known to be quite ‘peculiar’ (and a little disturbing) and they might still be alive.
