Playaways (a type of portable audiobook format that just requires batteries and a pair of headphones):
Camping out on a creepy swamp at night seemed like a good idea at the time, but Aidan and Olivia, twin siblings who are always up for a scary adventure, may be a smidge too busy trying to stay alive than catching their zzzs.
If you haven't already discovered Mary Downing Hahn, queen of ghost stories for kids, look no further. Curl up with this spine-tingling tale about a house haunted by a resident that it just can't seem to evict.
