Scritch Scratch by Lindsay Currie

4.0

My nostalgia spooky reading days came back to me while reading this one! I always remembering looking for the “scary” books at my middle school library, and sneaking them home, hoping the covers wouldn’t make my parents investigate them too much.

This is actually quite scary for a middle grade story. The writing just completely takes over a chill in you, where you will find yourself wanting to wrap up in a blanket and make sure all of your shower curtains stay wide open.

The way the story played out made perfect sense and wrapped up in such a nice way. Because this takes place in Chicago, I knew nothing about the hauntings so I felt like I was actually experiencing a tour bus ride just like the one in this story. I think this is a perfect book to read in October, and if you teach middle schoolers you should absolutely read this one out loud to them!!
