Spooky Stories for Brave Kids

Spooky Stories for Brave Kids

21 Oct 2020

We’ve just released Sigi Cohen and James Foley‘s There’s Something Weird About Lena read by Osher Günsberg, which takes readers on a spooky quest to discover the hideous truth about the odd, weird girl called Lena. It joins a very spooky collection of stories on Story Box Library for the scariest month of the year, with stories to scare even the bravest kids and one very unscary story full of MONSTROUS apple trees and FRIGHTENING rainbows for the children who like the not-so-scary things.
