Spooktacular Stories is an anthology of thrilling tales for brave kids, published by Share Your Story in 2019 to raise funds for children facing long stays in Australian hospitals.
Inside you'll find spooktacular stories of all kinds: uncanny acts and creepy tales, bumps in the night and things that wail.
It's built for the sweet spot of childhood where being scared can be controlled in a put-the-book-down-if-you-need-to kind of way.
Dannika Patterson contributed 'A Protection Poem for Brave Readers' as the preface to the collection. As she cheerfully admits, this is because she's a scaredy cat and doesn't do spooky stories. Instead, she wrote readers a small protection charm to carry with them into the dark. Perfect for reading around Halloween.
Sales profits help support children experiencing long hospital stays in Australia. This is a cause with a connection to Dannika's picture book Hedgehog the Wonder Dog, which centres on a child in hospital and the therapy dog who visits him.
Themes include Halloween, ghost stories, courage, humour, poetry and charitable giving.
Suitable for primary-aged readers who like a little bit of a fright in book form.
