Ghost Stories for Kids Age 9 - 12: Short Spooky and Scary Horror Stories to Tell at a Campfire, Halloween, or Whenever It Gets Dark

Give your kids a fright, with the lights on. Thirty-five original spooky stories, just scary enough to thrill a 9 to 12 year old and short enough to finish before bed. Written by an elementary school teacher who knows exactly what makes this age laugh, squirm, and beg for one more, this is a collection built to be read aloud: around a campfire, under a blanket at a sleepover, on Halloween night, or whenever it gets dark. Inside you'll find 35 tales across six chilling sections: A hiker who freezes on the mountain… and comes back to the tent with the snow he promised. Voices in the walls of a new house that know a little girl's name. A monster dining in a graveyard, a ghoul stalking a quiet street, and a mummy with a score to settle. A ghost ship that hunts down treasure seekers, a demon horse, and the Old Witch of Salem. A room where everything is wrong and you can never leave, plus a garden gnome and a doll you'll wish you hadn't brought home. The stories are quick, punchy, and perfect for reluctant readers who freeze at a fat chapter book. Most kids finish a story in a few minutes and the whole book in a day or two. There's no series to keep track of and no order to follow: open to any page and start reading. Spooky and suspenseful without wall-to-wall gore, though a few genuinely creepy moments mean you know your reader best. Great for: Read-aloud nights, campfires, sleepovers, and backyard camp-outs Reluctant and independent readers in 3rd to 6th grade A Halloween gift, stocking stuffer, or birthday present for a spooky-loving kid, grandson, or granddaughter Fans of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and classic campfire creepers Turn off the lights, grab a flashlight, and read one out loud tonight. Just don't blame us if someone checks under the bed. Scroll up and add Ghost Stories for Kids to your cart.
