About the Book
"As you all know, Grimstone Hall is thought to be the most haunted house in England. But there's something more important than that. I think we are the only haunted house where all the ghosts are children. It's rather special, don't you think?" Jake and the other finalists in a ghost-story writing competition for children have been invited to tour Grimstone Hall where they'll learn about the seven ghosts who haunt the grounds! As their guide leads them through grand rooms, hidden nooks, and magnificent grounds, they hear all about the ghosts. But strange shapes and shadows follow Jake as they move through the house, and the tour guide starts behaving very suspiciously. With each tale told, Jake grows more anxious. Soon he'll discover something is very, very wrong . . . Union Square & Co.'s EVERYONE CAN BE A READER books are expertly written, thoughtfully designed with dyslexia-friendly fonts and paper tones, and carefully formatted to meet readers where they are with engaging stories that encourage reading success across a wide range of age and interest levels.Book Synopsis

"Though short in length, this title packs a morbid punch with each child's violent death (by gunshot, freezing, burning) and ends on a hair-raisingly creepy note . . . . A quick, compelling read perfectly suited to its target audience." --Kirkus "Though each ghost story is different, they successfully build up to the ultimate twist ending. Minimal descriptions of the characters and setting will allow readers to imagine scenes at their own preferred degree of fright, with hatchwork illustrations to enhance the reading experience. Short chapters combined with a dyslexia-friendly layout and typeface make this title particularly suited for reluctant or struggling young readers."--School Library Journal
