Double Dare to be Scared: Another Thirteen Chilling Tales (Dare to be Scared) by Robert D. San Souci
5.0
If your students like Alvin Schwartz's "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark" series, then they will like this book/series.
The only story that I would be concerned about in this book is "The Halloween Spirit". In the story, a Keesha and her sister, onelle are out trick-or-treating. They decide to meet up with some of Keesha's friends in the park on Halloween. Keesha notices that her older friends have "beer, cigarettes, and stuff", but Keesha is too smart to mess with that stuff. The group make a pentogram, and try to summon a Halloween Spirit...by the end of the story, Keesha realizes that the spirit she and her friends summon found its' way to onelle.
Overall, the book is great..Some parents' religious beliefs may conflict with the book, and espeically with the story, "The Halloween Spirit"..I would still buy the book because most students love ghost stories, have done Bloody Mary at sleepovers. Who hasn't done Bloody Mary as a child??? I did, and I turned out normal!!! Know your students and population..and whether certain students should take out the book based on family and religious beliefs...
