Rowley warns the reader on the first page that if they are easily scared and prefer stories about unicorns – this is not the book for them. But if Zombies, talking heads and skeletons are your thing, dive into this story collection!

Pranksters, Ghosts, Skeletons and Biters! A mad Mummy, freaky science project, Magical Makeup and more.

Each of the stories have the signature style illustrations of the Wimpy Kid series and the the fun font on lined pages, but are all complete in 20 pages or less.

Many have a clever twist, or even a laugh out loud ending, but all have a spooky theme, drawing on the creatures and situations children have feared for centuries, including vampires, alien invasions, Frankenstein and even being buried alive.

Along with the scary factor, Rowley’s goody-goody, gentle character shows through with a moral in the mix.

A great way to capture reluctant readers – spooky short stories, jam-packed with funny illustrations.
