Just in case you or a kid in your life happen to be looking for something to read for Halloween, here are a few I’ve enjoyed! And let me know in the comments if you have anything you’d add to this list.
- The Forgotten Girl by India Hill Brown
- Ghost Squad by Claribel A. Ortega
- Hoodoo by Ronald L. Smith
- Just South of Home by Karen Strong
- Nightbooks by J.A. White
- Paola Santiago and the River of Tears by Tehlor Kay Mejia
- A Properly Unhaunted Place by William Alexander
- Spirit Hunters by Ellen Oh
And for two that celebrate the season without getting scary, try
- Weird Little Robots by Carolyn Crimi
- A Dash of Trouble by Anna Meriano
Oooh, I don’t do a lot of spooky stuff myself, but here are some classics I can definitely recommend:
Coraline, and The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaimon
The Time of the Ghost, by Diana Wynne Jones. Also Witch Week, which is less spooky.
Castle Hangnail, by Ursula Vernon. More funny than spooky. Which Witch, by Eva Ibbotsen is in the same vein.
The Nest, by Kenneth Oppel. Very creepy!
I have enjoyed most of these! The Nest was too creepy for me to even finish! But I should try the Time of the Ghost, as I enjoy DWJ in general.
Woohoo, I see lots of great titles! And two on my TBR (The Forgotten Girl and Nightbooks one day I will get to it). I would second The Nest. When you get to Hide and Seeker, I’m sure you’ll find it’s also a good fit for this list. 🙂
Actually, I thought that as soon as I saw your review! I was just trying to keep this list simple by only including books I’ve already read. Otherwise it’s too easy for me to get sucked down the rabbit hole of books that might be good and that also end up being added to my already enormous TBR.
Yup, I can definitely relate to that, haha
