Book of the Year in the Juvenile Fiction category finalistKids love to tell stories among themselves, and the two most popular types are funny stories and scary stories. Scared Witless delivers double dividends - it contains thirteen stories that are funny and scary. These tales are surefire entertainment for sleepovers, summer camp and parties. Husband-and-wife team Martha Hamilton and Mitch Weiss, who have helped students become storytellers for decades, include suggestions and guidelines for telling stories effectively. Kevin Pope's appropriately wacky line drawings amplify this comically absurd collection of tales. These scary stories about haunted houses, ghosts and shaggy dogs will teach readers about the importance of courage and resourcefulness.
