  • 6BadGirls.jpg
    Bad Girls Don’t Die by Katie Alender
    Alexis thought Kasey was just acting weird as usual when she kept playing with this strange antique doll. But soon after, weird things start happening in their house—doors open and close by themselves, water boils on an unlit stove—and that’s not all. Kasey’s blue eyes turn green and she starts talking like people decades ago. What’s taken over Kasey? Will Alexis be able to save her?
  • 7Afterlife.jpg
    The Afterlife by Gary Soto
    Chuy is just your average Californian cutie, but when he is suddenly stabbed in a restroom and is soon floating above his bleeding dead body, he now has to embark on a new life as a ghost. He’s able to do things he’d never dreamed of as a human—including possibly falling in love with another ghost!
  • 8MissPeregrine.jpg
    Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
    Jacob just lost his grandfather, who wrote him a letter before he died. The letter takes Jacob to a remote Island off the coast of Wales. There, Jacob finds an abandoned orphanage. The kids who were sent there were sent away for a reason—they were dangerous, and they might still be alive.
  • 9Ruined.jpg

    Rebecca just moved to New Orleans and is staying in a creepy house with her aunt. She soon befriends Lisette in the local graveyard, and she shows Rachel around New Orleans. There’s only one catch: Lisette is a ghost.

    House of Dark Shadows by Robert Liparulo
    When Xander moves from LA to a small town, he couldn’t help but be disappointed.

After all these occurrences, Xander starts to wonder whether this house is good or evil.

i want to read bad girls don't die

by samiam2000 on 11/14/2012 8:04:44 AM

 
 

If you like scary books, then you should read 'All the Lovely Bad Ones' or 'Wait 'till Helen Comes' or even 'Old Willis Place' or 'Deep and Dark and Dangerous' they are all by Mary Downing Hahn. They are really scary. But even scarier is 'The ghost of Greylock' by Dan Poblocki. That one's really scary. I stayed up till 2:30 reading it because I couldn't sleep.

Me and the kids in my class last year would all love to to read the scary stories books. They are so...well, scary! And some others are Mary Downing Hahn books and Juniper Berry.

all these books look gr8, and i LOVE to read! I love scary stories, but i never have time to read. i'm really busy w/ school and i have cross country in fall for the fist 2 months or so. But i just ended last week.Frown do u know when i could squeeze in some reading time b/c i really wish i could read more. I have dance on Wednesdays and thursdays after school, and other school activites in the mornings on 2 days. any ideas when i could read?

 

Hey! If your schedule's jam packed, read in the car or bus or subway on your way to and from your activities. Your commute may not be very long, but even 10-20 minutes quality time with your books adds up, and you'll blow through them before you know it Smile
