The Phantom on the Phone: And Other Scary Tales

Don't turn off the lights when reading this collection of spine-chilling tales. A strange, silent girl who only appears in phone pictures. A school prank with a Christmas elf that goes terribly wrong. A piece of chalk that draws frighteningly fast. A boy's bone-tingling encounter with the world's most awesome toothpaste With writing prompts and discussion questions to continue the fright, you'll be spooked long after you finish reading.
